All program proposals must be submitted through the CIM Program Management system in order to go through the University Governance process. The Office of University Accreditation must review all proposals prior to submission to the UCC, Graduate Council, and GWC/Faculty Senate. This review is to ensure that the proposal is complete, includes all relevant approvals and supporting documentation, meets UM policies and requirements, and complies with SACSCOC accreditation requirements. Please include sufficient time before the first governance submission deadlines to allow time for this review and for possible requests for additional information. New program proposals and significant curricular revisions may require extra time.
Please note that the deadlines included below are for 5pm on those dates.
*Last UCC deadline for Summer 2025 or Fall 2025 implementation. Proposals that require Faculty Senate approval must also be approved by the University President after the Faculty Senate Meeting vote. Some proposals may require additional notification to or approval from SACSCOC prior to implementation. If so, this will be noted at the bottom of the proposal and included in the CIM approval workflow. All proposals need to be processed by the Unviersity Registrar's Office after these approvals are done in order to be entered into CaneLink and in the next year's Academic Bulletin. You can view the required approvals and where the proposal is in the approval workflow in the CIM Program Management System on the righthand side of the proposal.
