Action undertaken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at its meeting of

June

3, 2010, gives rise to the following recommendation:

Motion

That Notices of Intent (NOls) for program proposals be brought forward to SCUS

for consideration before being forwarded to SCUP,

Rationale

SCUS's mandate includes the authority to "review and make recommendations to SCUP

regarding new programs and credentials." Current practice has NOls coming to SCUS

for information at the same time as they are directed to SCU P for approval. This

sometimes results in an NOI being discussed and approved by SCUP before SCUS has

an

opportunity to provide comment. SCUS believes that the comments and feedback

arising from its discussion should inform SCUP's decision.

Currently, the SGSC receives and discusses NOls before they are forwarded to SCUP.

SCUS

proposes that the two curriculum committees follow parallel processes when

considering

NOls. This change would be effective irnnlediately.
