- The shortened curricular change cycle dictates that course and/or program change materials and documentation must be approved by various levels of UNI administration (Departmental, Bugetary Review, College Senates, UCC/GCCC, Faculty Senate), before the Provosts Office can send documentation to the Board or Regents (BOR) Office, thence to ASAC, COPs and finally for BOR review.  The BOR calendar constrains the Fall approval process and therefore all supporting documentation for curricular changes must complete review by Faculty Senate during September.

On August 23, 2017 the University Curriculum Committee (UCC) reviewed and approved the following new programs for their university-wide implications:

1. ENVRESMGMT-BA: Environmental Resource Management BA - Interdisciplinary    2. ENVSCI-BS: Environmental Science BS – Earth and Environmental Sciences

The entire packet was approved (pending any changes noted in UCC minutes).

Therefore, be it resolved that the Senate accepts for voting to docket and initiating discussion, all materials relating to the current (Fall 2017) curriculum packets.
