As of June 14, 2024, the University Senate is dissolved and will be replaced by a Faculty Senate. During the transition, this site will continue to hold relevant information for the continuation of duties. The previous University Senate rules have been transitioned to Administrative Regulations. Information on Curriculog, proposals and syllabi has permanently moved to the Office of the Provost website under Curriculum Proposals.

If you have any questions regarding the transition, please email facultysenatetransition@uky.edu or Christine Harper, Acting Associate Provost for Academic Operations at christine.harper@uky.edu.

How to Create a Proposal for a New University Scholars Program

(Click here for information about the approval steps for a new University Scholars Program.)

Checklist for New USP(DOCX)

Proposals for a new University Scholars Program (USP) are submitted using Curriculog, not the Word form that has been used in the past. Visit THIS LINK to access Curriculog and begin your proposal.

The only required upload for a proposal for a new USP is documentation of approval by the department/faculty of record for the undergraduate degree. (The header language in Curriculog describes how to upload a file.)
