Academic Program Committee
The College of Education Academic Program Committee (APC) works to help guide and support College of Education Departments with curriculum development and/or course modification. Working in conjunction with the UA Office of Academic Affairs and UA Register’s office, the committee guides faculty with syllabi development, updates, and policy changes mandated by ABOR.
Course and Program Development
The Academic Program Committee (APC) meets monthly to review and approve COE course additions and modifications in the Course Management System (CMS).
Steps for submitting course materials to APC:
- Complete the appropriate Recommendation form (add, modify or delete).
- Review the syllabus for adherence to UA and college policies and guidelines. Syllabi that do not adhere to these cannot be approved by APC or curricular affairs.
- Obtain a memo from the department head acknowledging the course has been reviewed at the department level and approving the course to advance to APC.
- Send only electronic versions of the Recommendation form, syllabus and department head memo to Iliana Reyes, who will forward them to the committee.
- Complete course materials are due to Elizabeth Moraga at least 1 week prior to the scheduled APC meeting.
Once the committee reviews, you will be notified of the committee’s recommendations by the APC co-chair. Those recommendations will help move your course along in the approval process.
The course approval process can take up to one year for full approval. Please work with your departmental APC committee member and curriculum scheduler to plan accordingly.
