Step 2.
The APC support staff provide the document(s) to the review team by email.
The review team communicates with the
initiator to resolve any missing, unclear or contradictory information.
Step 3.
The review team will submit items to the APC support staff as discussion or
consent agenda items. If the item is presented for discussion, the APC review
team will present the proposal and determine if the initiator will need to
attend the scheduled APC meeting.
Step 4. The APC support staff will post the final submission to Bb and
notify APC members the documents are posted for review. APC members will review
all documents on both the consent agenda and the discussion agenda.
Step 5. The APC chair will notify the college/school dean following the APC meeting of the action taken (see below) and route the documents to the Academic Council (AC).
Approval
- Proposals pass with a simple majority vote. Documents will be forwarded to the
Academic Council (AC). The AC reviews and may make recommendations.
The proposal will then be processed
through the appropriate administrative authorities for implementation and
notification will be provided to the college/school dean, Faculty Senate, and
Executive Council.
Disapproval - Proposals that fail to win a simple majority vote will be
returned to the college/school dean and initiator with APC's stated reasons for
the negative vote.
Deferral - Proposals shall be deferred when a simple majority of the
members present vote to defer the proposal. The APC chair will outline the steps
necessary to bring the proposal back for action by the Committee. This document
will be sent to the college/school dean and initiator.
