1. Curricular Approval Processes
Presentation for the Faculty Center
16 November 2017
Dr. Eileen Morgan-Zayachek,
Associate Provost, Academic Programs

2. Starting Points: Curriculum Planning
Major vs. Program
College Catalog
“Program” > “Major” Degree Program = Degree Requirements (Major, Gen Ed & Other Reqs for Degree: min. 120 s.h.; 48 s.h. upper-div.; 60 s.h. for BS/ 90 s.h. for BA; min. 2.0 gpa cum & in major; min. 45 s.h. in residence, incl. 30 of last 60 )
The “Catalog” = Definitive Source of Degree Requirements Published Annually Binding for Students According to Matriculation Date (Academic Year) Deadline for Catalog Changes for Next Year: Last Day of Spring Finals

3. Campus Vs. Off-Campus Approvals
Local Changes (Campus Approval Only):
Course Changes*
New Courses*
Special Topics courses
Minors (adding, changing, discontinuing)
*To add or subtract Gen Ed attributes to new or existing courses, we must apply to SUNY too. Special Topics courses cannot carry Gen Ed attributes (not permanent courses).
Changes Requiring SUNY & State Education Dept. (SED) approval
New Programs
Revisions to Existing Programs (under certain conditions—see “triggers” on slides 6 & 7):

4. Understanding Program Registration
NY State Requires Registration of All Degree & Certificate Programs (Undergrad & Grad)
Attestation Model: SUNY Reviews/Approves Our Curricular Proposals, Sends to State Ed Dept. for “Expedited” Final Approval
We Use SUNY Forms to Propose New Programs; Change Existing Programs; De-activate, Discontinue Programs, etc.
Under Certain Conditions (see slides 6 & 7), Changes to Existing Programs Compel Re-registration of Program with State
Campuses Cannot Advertise, or Advise Students About, Proposed New Programs—or Changes to Existing Programs—Until Given Final Approval from SED

5. Program Registration (cont’d.)
Upon Granting Final Approval for a Program Registration or Re- registration, SED Updates the State Inventory of Registered Programs
Our Campus Has Two SUNY Program Reviewers
Educator Prep Programs and Licensure Programs Have Special Rules
Associate Provost, Academic Programs = Campus Contact for SUNY
We Shouldn’Contact State Ed Directly….SUNY is Our Liaison
