Deadlines

Proposals for new degree programs not approved by the various curriculum committees, Academic Senate, Board of Trustees, and Illinois Board of Higher Education in time to publish in the catalog year for which it was proposed will appear in the next available catalog after it is approved. Approval at the state level may take up to a year or more, please plan accordingly.
Deadlines are when the proposal(s) must arrive at the Graduate Curriculum Committee or Undergraduate Curriculum Committee status in the Curriculum Forms System. Submit proposals early to allow sufficient time for required approval routing.
