Facts: 

GCCC has approved a post masters in Mental Health.  This was down outside of the regular curriculum cycle, so it didn't go through leapfrog, it was handled via documents and a network of sharing.  At this point, the Senate is the last stage of approval.

I asked why this was done outside of the regular curriculum cycle.  This was the reply:

The curriculum committee (undergrad and grad) meets during the fall semester to process the proposals that are uploaded via Leapfrog. When a department wants to submit a proposal outside the curricular cycle (like post masters Mental health), the system does not allow for uploads so we use the paperforms. In this case, the Counseling department approached Academic Affairs with this initiative outside of the regular cycle and it was told to contact the parties involved in order to proceed. The Counseling Department wants to start the admission process to the Mental Health certificate this summer and already has a list of interested parties.
