The purpose of the Academic Council shall be to provide general supervision over undergraduate academic affairs of The University such as curricula, retention requirements, degree requirements, core requirements, major, minor, and emphasis area requirements.
Changes in undergraduate academic programs normally originate at the departmental level and carry the endorsement of the relevant college or school curriculum committees. It shall be the responsibility of the Academic Council to review all suggested changes and to recommend approval or disapproval and, if appropriate, return the proposal to the college or unit for revisions. The Academic Council may also initiate changes in the academic program that seem conducive to the welfare of the institution.
All actions of the Academic Council shall be forwarded as recommendations to the Provost for review and transmittal to the President of the University for final action.
