If you intend to seek approval in 2021-2022 to discontinue a Doctoral Minor, please visit this KB. 

The Graduate School Academic Policies & Procedures policy on Doctoral Minors can be found here. 

To Create or Discontinue Doctoral Minors
For departments and academic units interested in creating a new doctoral minor or discontinuing a current minor, use the Lumen proposal system.  For detailed instructions on how to access Lumen, visit this link.  For all Lumen KBs supported by Academic Planning and Institutional Research, visit this link.

Lumen proposals to create or discontinue minors must be approved by the department faculty, school/college, APIR, GFEC, and UAPC.
