Create New Minor

The following describes the approval process for creating a new academic minor.

  1. Submit for Faculty Reviews and Approvals

    The originating academic unit should input the minor into the Curriculum Inventory Management System (CIM) for review and approval by appropriate unit, college and university committees. A CIM training guide is available for assistance.

    University committees (graduate and undergraduate) meet once a month and usually review all proposals received by the first of that month. The undergraduate committee does not meet in the summer months.

  2. Input into University Systems

    Upon university committee approval, the Provost will conduct a final review. Upon approval, the Provost and the Registrar will ensure that the minor is entered into university systems so that it is operable. Minors that complete the full approval process prior to May will appear in the fall semester Auburn University Bulletin.
