Course Initiators submit all three pieces of documentation to APC for review. Courses should be submitted at least a week prior to the committee meeting.
APC APPROVALS If a course is approved by APC: Elizabeth sends the approval via email to the Course Initiator with a copy to (Department representative, Associate Dean, Department Admin who submitted the course, and APC Chair. (We can also include the department head and instructor) Upon approval by APC, the department initiator can move forward with submitting the approved course in Uaccess.
APC DISAPPROVALS If a course does not meet APC approval, it is sent back to admin and faculty/instructor for corrections/adjustments. Once corrections have been made, the forms can be resubmitted to Elizabeth. The APC Committee is specifically looking for syllabus compliance.
