Approval Process Timelines

Consult the charts below to determine the deadlines for approval through faculty governance, CHE and SACSCOC.

These dates reflect the shortest amount of time it takes to process a proposal through the approval cycle. If the deadlines in one approval process are not met, the proposal will rotate into the next subsequent approval cycle. Due dates to Academic Programs are firm; if dates are not met, proposals will rotate into the next subsequent cycle.

 

 

 

 

All programs need to be fully approved by CHE and SACSCOC before a major code is assigned and before admitting students. The SACSCOC approval process can take up to 6 months from date of notification and may take longer if SACSCOC requests additional information.

It is recommended that proponents vet draft CHE New Program Proposal Form and Program Modification Proposal Forms with Academic Programs prior to the due date.
