Faculty Handbook
The timetable for program development is established to best coordinate planning with standard university deadlines, allocating resources and staff, and employing reasonable opportunities for promotion.
Planning Timeline
Forms and Deadlines
Completed f orms may be submitted anytime in advance of the due dates shown below.
Proposals received after September 1, 2009 will be considered for Summer 2011.
Deadlines, Reminders, and Advice
- Programs Offered for the First Time: Assistance in developing program proposals is available from the oIP staff. Draft proposals are welcome, and the oIP DPO will provide feedback and suggestions, especially in regard to logistics, academic requirements, etc.
|
- Programs Offered Annually or Biannually: Faculty who direct programs regularly or who have directed programs in the past are required to submit all materials from the list above each year. Programs may change in content from year to year, therefore, factors such as costs, locations, size of student group, etc. cannot be assumed to be the same as the year before. Please read for updates to oIP, financial, and university policies. The course approval process is typically waived for programs that have run for three successive sessions unless the courses are new or reclassified within the department. However, for 2010, all courses will be confirmed by the department chairs; the Academic Course Approval form will be posted by early summer 2009.

- Special note for programs with COB courses: Please consult with the COB Dean for the procedures and policies about promoting business courses prior to approval.
|
- Special note for programs with COE courses: Please consult with the COE Dean for procedures and policies for developing programs.
