The Office of the Provost must be consulted in situations where there is a creation of a new educational unit, consolidation of existing educational units, significant reduction (or shuttering) of an educational unit or transfer of a program from one educational unit to another. Examples of changes include changing the name of an academic unit and splitting or combining existing academic units.
To submit a request for a change to an educational unit:
- Fill out the required guidelines and cover sheet. Organizational and structural changes of a department (or college) require the unit to follow its own rules for such discussions.
- Upon review, the department will submit the proposal to the college faculty for review.
- After approval at the college level, the college sends the proposal to the Office of the Provost, who will work with the appropriate group(s) and communicate next steps.
