Approved Recommendations

The UCC currently specifies the following guidelines concerning the creation of new Certificates or the revision of any existing ones:
-The purpose of a Certificate is to provide an alternative to the more traditional minor. Certificates should provide a brief but coherent experience in a set of curricular offerings in an academic discipline or a combination of more than one discipline.
-Certificates should generally be shorter than minors in related areas.

The Chair of the Faculty and Chair of the Senate will present the Regent's Awards Nominees for discussion and approval by the full Senate.

Due to the fact that these are confidential, no advanced information is posted.  The Senate will conduct the discussion and vote in closed session.

If a nominee is a member of the Senate, that member should not join in closed session.  Their alternate, unless that person is also a nominee, can join in their stead. 

Information about the process, including previous award winners, can be found at:

Review and vote on the Committee Recommendations for the Regents Awards.

This discussion will be completed in Executive Session.
