Notification: For the 2021-2022 Academic Year a moratorium is in place preventing any program changes or new programs. Course changes may move forward at the discretion of the College Dean. To the extent that desired course changes constitute a program change, and are thus prevented from moving forward, the deans will make that decision in consultation with the Registrar and Provost.
New Programs & Program Changes: ADHE will determine on a case-by-case basis if program changes require their approval. All new program proposals will require approval from the Board of Trustees and ADHE. Once all necessary approvals are obtained, any new academic programs or changes to existing programs will formally take effect the following academic year. The academic catalog and online degree plans will be updated to correspond with the new academic year.
New Courses & Course Changes: Once all necessary approvals are obtained, any new courses or changes to existing courses may be offered to students during the following academic term. However, such changes will not formally become part of program (major, minor or certificate) requirements until the following academic year. The academic catalog will be updated with approved new courses and course changes at the start of the following academic year.
Institutional Degree Requirements: Once all necessary approvals are obtained, any institutional degree requirements (e.g., general education, math, foreign language, etc.) will formally take effect the following academic year. The academic catalog will be updated to correspond with the new academic year.
