Propose edits to courses, programs, certificates, or minors
Delete
Academic units can propose to delete courses, programs, certificates, or minors. They can also propose to delete an element of a program (e.g., an option). The table below provides links to instructions for different types of curricular deletions. It also shows the general approvals required and an approximate timeline. Once proposals are submitted, progress through the approval process can be monitored.

* All proposals must be approved by departmental, college, and university committees, as well as the Provost.
** The time to change a new course/program is dependent on several factors (e.g., timing of submission, efficiency of college approval processes, external meeting schedules). The listed times are rough approximations.
