To maintain continuity in Auburn’s academic work, certain existing academic committees will continue their responsibilities for the time being. Relevant committee chairs have been informed and asked to notify members accordingly. As the transition proceeds, the name, composition, structure, scope, function, and other aspects of these particular committees will be reviewed and revised as needed to align with Board policy and the University’s new academic advisory framework.

The Ad Hoc Transition Advisory Team

An Ad Hoc Transition Advisory Team has been established to support transition planning and implementation. This team will advise on immediate next steps, help maintain continuity across academic processes, and identify matters that need additional attention as Auburn moves into the new advisory framework.
