Figure 1: Steps in approval matrix for approval of a new accelerated graduate degree. Program representatives who are creating proposals for these degrees are strongly encouraged to consult with appropriate advisors in their school or college, the Graduate School and/or the Provost’s office to ensure the accelerated degree can be implemented, as envisioned, before governance considers the final proposal for approval. Review by APCC and GCC can occur in any order or in parallel. However, if one committee makes a substantial change, then the revised proposal needs to go back to the other before moving to review/approval by the Provost.
