All curricular approval processes start at the academic unit level by a faculty member submitting a basic data sheet (BDS) that contains the subject matter of the intended process (a course/program revision, approval, or inactivation). The proposal is reviewed and approved by the following faculty committees as appropriate:

Program Curricular Group
Regional Campuses Faculty Councils
Departmental/School Curriculum Committee
College Curriculum Committee (CCC)
Educational Policies Council (EPC)
Faculty Senate

A detailed flowchart of the curricular approval process is presented in Curriculum Services' Curriculum Guidelines.

The Educational Policies Council is concerned with conceptual and structural aspects of long-range academic and curricular planning. The Council consists of two bodies, one responsible for undergraduate education called the Undergraduate Council and the other responsible for graduate education called the Graduate Council.
