ANNUAL REPORT - 1994
The Senate Committee on Academic Planning held 16 meetings in 1994. Most recommendations of
SCAP go forward to Senate for information or further action. Therefore this report presents in
summary form the major actions of the Committee.
PROGRAMS APPROVED FOR FURTHER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
When a new program is being considered, it is expected to be forwarded
to
SCAP for review at an
early stage so that information about the program can assist in the planning process. This can also

University. This initial approval process is entitled "approval for further planning and development".
The following programs received approval to proceed with further planning and development:
