Approval Workflow

Collaborate with department faculty colleagues, dean/director, and administrative/program coordinators prior to submitting any curriculum proposals. Be sure that any needed curriculum development funding is secured before making extensive curricular changes.

Step 1: Department initiates idea

Step 2: Determine timeline, documentation

Step 3: Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders as needed

Step 4: Proposal submitted to Dean for review

Step 5: Curriculum Team reviews for initial issues or questions

Step 6: Reviewed by Curriculum Committee: Curriculum Committee will discuss proposal and recommend to move forward or not, or may request revisions

Step 7: Reviewed by Academic Affairs: The Associate Vice President (AVP) for the department and Vice President of Academic Affairs (VPAA) review and determine whether to approve the proposal

Steps 8a-9b

Then either:

Approved (Programs) - VPAA presents to Lane Board of Education for approval; upon approval, Curriculum Team submits to the Higher Education Coordinating Commission for review and approval; after HECC, the program goes to Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities for accreditation review and then is reported for financial aid
Approved (Courses) - VPAA moves to Curriculum Team, which submits to HECC
Not approved - VPAA works with the department faculty and dean on the next steps and/or revisions
