The typical process for obtaining academic program and organizational unit approval involves the following steps:

• Campus approvals obtained
• Proposal sent to the Executive Vice President and Provost (EVPP) with CC to the Vice Provost and EVPP’s Executive Assistant
• Screening by Vice Provost (Dialog on refinements conducted with campus representatives)
• Review and approval to move forward by EVPP; item placed on the monthly agenda for consent by NU Council of CAOs
• [Graduate program may require additional steps, but some graduate certificate programs can receive an Expedited Review.]
• If consented by CAOs, a Board of Regents (BOR) Agenda Item is prepared/refined with campus input and approvals
• Draft Agenda Item vetted by the President and Executive Cabinet
• Consideration at the bi-monthly meeting of the BOR Academic Affairs (AA) Committee (certain items are “reported” to the committee)
• If approved by the AA Committee, presented to the (full) BOR (as a motion for approval; certain items are “reported")
• The EVPP forwards BOR-approved and reported academic proposals to the CCPE
• CCPE staff review material; any questions are posed to the Vice Provost who seeks responses from program leaders/Deans. (Some items, such as simple name changes, may be approved without a hearing.)
• CCPE holds a public hearing (Vice Provost and campus program leaders/Deans typically in attendance)
• If approved, CCPE notifies EVPP, Vice Provost and campus administrators via email
• [Once CCPE approval has been granted, the program or organizational unit may start operation as proposed.]
