Notes
- Please contact the Provost’s Office ahead of this deadline; this will allow us time to review the proposal(s) based on MASU requirements.
- U-M faculty members may be asked to review new / revised program proposals from other universities and provide feedback. We will share the external proposals requiring feedback with the relevant school/college once they are released to us by MASU. We request that feedback is returned to the Provost’s Office by the date listed above in order for us to review and ask any clarifying questions before our submission deadline of the following Friday.
