Faculty considering such actions must follow the campus policy, which was created to protect the interest of students who may be enrolled in programs slated for closure or reformulation.  If suspension of admissions or program closure may be on the horizon, it is important to consult early and often with your Associate Dean, as well as with the Associate Dean for Academic Planning, who will consult, in turn, with the Provost's Office of Academic Planning and Institutional Research. 

For a more detailed discussion concerning other matters related to department/program restructuring, which may relate to suspending admissions to and closing academic programs, please see the L&S L&S APC Policy on Creating, Restructuring, or Discontinuing Departments, Programs, and Department-like Units .
