Program Development & Approval Overview

Every academic program will go through the program development and approval process at the point of its introduction and subsequently if it is revised or deleted.

While all program developments require consideration and approval at the Faculty level, some developments are also required to go through the University's Program Development and Approval process.  Initially this will require a Concept Proposal to be submitted to the PAEC Executive Officer who will submit this proposal to the University Learning Committee (ULC). Following advice from ULC a full proposal must then be submitted to the Program Approval & Entry Committee (PAEC).
