UNDERGRADUATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Effective:
August 29, 1994
PURPOSE
To specify the process for the formulation, review and dissemination
of undergraduate policies and procedures.
AUTHORITY/SOURCE
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
POLICY
The Undergraduate Policies and Procedures Manual is considered the authoritative
manual for the official University policies and procedures for the governance
of undergraduate programs. These policies and procedures are the basic
guidelines and minimum requirements for undergraduate program development,
implementation, and evaluation. All undergraduate programs including
cooperative and affiliated programs must conform to these guidelines
and requirements. The Office of Undergraduate Studies is responsible
for the maintenance and distribution of the Undergraduate Policies and
Procedures Manual. The Undergraduate Council is the body of the Faculty
Senate responsible for the initiation and development of recommendations
for undergraduate policies and procedures in consultation with members
of the faculty, Council of Deans and the Provost.
PROCEDURE
Undergraduate Council recommendations approved by the Faculty Senate
are forwarded to the Provost, who seeks the review of the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies and the Council of Deans prior to concurring or dissenting.
If revision is desired, the policy statement with suggested revision
is returned to the Faculty Senate.
After completing
this process, the policy or procedure is officially entered into the
Undergraduate Policies and Procedures Manual by the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies. Compliance is monitored by the academic deans, the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies and the Faculty Senate Undergraduate Council.
