L&S Academic Planning Council Meeting - Agendas and Notes

This document serves as a repository for meeting agendas and notes for the L&S Academic Planning Council. Materials prior to the 2012-2013 academic year are available on request. Please contact the dean's office, or the Assistant Dean for Academic Planning. This document was updated and reviewed for accessibility on June 10, 2025.

2025-2026

Unless otherwise noted, all APC meetings are held from 1:00-2:30 p.m. CST. Meetings will be held in-person, unless otherwise noted.  When meetings are held virtually, connection information will be provided in the agenda.
Deadlines for APC discussions generally fall three weeks prior to the meeting if review by the L&S Curriculum Committee is also required. Most proposals are scheduled in consultation with the Academic Associate Dean and the Associate Dean for Academic Planning.  In addition, program approvals often require additional review and approval by other L&S or university committees, and in many cases, the sequence must accommodate review and approval by those bodies before requests can be implemented. For example, a substantive change to a Graduate program will flow from the L&S Curriculum Committee to the L&S APC, then to the Graduate School for review by the Grad School APC and the Graduate Faculty Executive Committee.  Some proposals also require approval by the University Academic Planning Council, and must be approved no later than the April meeting before they can be implemented in the following fall. Please consult your Associate Dean and/or the Assistant Dean for Academic Planning about deadlines as programs are developed.

Meeting Notices from December 19, 2023 and onward can be found on the Office of the Secretary of the Faculty's Public Meeting Notices page.
