Procedures Overview

The detailed procedures in this section encompass the development, implementation, and maintenance of internal and external program pathways. The procedures are written for Academic Schools, but they also describe how all internal stakeholders support the process and the Schools. The procedures, which apply broadly to new pathways as well as pathways under review, ensure both consistency and quality assurance and can be customized to specific situations.
