Guidance for Program Proposals

Types of Proposals

UK currently offers four types of programs: badges, minors, certificates, and degrees.

There are three types of curricular actions (new, change, suspend/close). However, there are three categories of change: minor change; change; and significant change. 

For information about the three types of changes (minor change, change, and significant change), click here.

Please note that there are also proposals related to educational units (name changes, creation, consolidation, transfer, significant reduction, etc.) All educational unit-related proposals are significant changes.
