The following describes the approval process for revising an existing academic program. This process applies to revisions of majors, options, online programs, minors, certificates, and ABMs. It does not apply to revising the name of a degree program or the degree nomenclature; such proposals should follow the procedures for revising degree nomenclature.

Submit for Faculty Reviews and Approvals
The originating academic unit should input the course revision 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.

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 revision is entered into university systems so that it is operable. Revisions that complete the full approval process prior to May will appear in the fall semester Auburn University Bulletin.
