1) The originating academic unit should input the ABM proposal into the university’s Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) system. The CIM system will route the proposal through all unit and college reviews established by the college. These reviews occur at the college’s discretion.

2) Upon college approval, the CIM system will route the proposal to the university’s undergraduate and graduate curriculum committees. These committees review proposals once a month during the academic year. Usually, proposals received by the first of the month are reviewed that month.

3) Upon approval of both university committees, the Provost will conduct a final review. Upon approval, the Provost and the Registrar will ensure that the ABM is entered into university systems so that it is operable. ABMs that complete the full approval process prior to May will appear in the fall semester Auburn University Bulletin.
