The Process: Program changes appear in the catalog the year after they are approved; UC2 is the first step of this process. ◦ In UC2, approved users will review and edit catalog copy,

upload rationale (a program change memo) for changes, and submit programs to the college level.

Program Recommendation Forms are the other part of this process.

Changes made to courses appearing in a program will need to be approved by the UCRC before the program changes are given final approval.

You must submit a memo even if you are only making cosmetic changes.

Send electronic & hard copies of all program change documents to CAH: ◦Program change memo◦Signed program recommendation form◦Catalog copy (“Comparison Document” in UC2)

Estimated deadline for next round of catalog changes (for the 2015-16 catalog): October 2014◦ Due to CAH transition, GEP changes, and transition of

undergraduate audits from DARs to PeopleSoft there will be no major program revisions for this upcoming year.

◦ Start planning now: Plan your changes carefully since program revisions must remain

in place for a minimum of two years (excluding extenuating circumstances)
