 Changes made to courses appearing in a program will need to be approved by the UCRC before the program changes are given final approval.  You must submit a memo even if you are only making cosmetic changes.

 Send electronic & hard copies of all program change documents to CAH: ◦ Program change memo ◦ Signed program recommendation form ◦ Catalog copy (“Comparison Document” in UC2)

 Estimated deadline for next round of catalog changes (for the catalog): October 2014 ◦ Due to CAH transition, GEP changes, and transition of undergraduate audits from DARs to PeopleSoft there will be no major program revisions for this upcoming year. ◦ Start planning now:  Plan your changes carefully since program revisions must remain in place for a minimum of two years (excluding extenuating circumstances)  Meetings with Delia, Ashli, Trisha, and Lynn as needed ◦ Program Recommendation Forms: under the “Forms” section
