Lumen Structures: How to add an undergraduate Education Minor code for Teaching Certification (EED Min)

How to submit the Lumen Structures proposal when adding an undergraduate minor to an Education program code.

Students pursuing an undergraduate teaching degree (Bachelor of Science-Education) are eligible to declare education minors (EED MIN). Due to the unique academic structure set-up, multiple codes may need to be created to allow students in different SIS program codes to declare these minors. 

All new education minor codes will be created under the EED program code. Any additional plan codes will be created when there is a student interested in pursing one of these minors. At the time a student wants to declare a minor, the department should submit a Lumen Structures proposal to request the creation of an additional plan code associated with the SIS program code. 

Academic planning help

No additional governance is required when requesting a new code for an existing Educational Minor teaching code. These are added to the UAPC consent agenda at the end of the academic year. New code's effective dates are the following term that has not yet started (i.e. if approved in June will be effective fall).

Programs eligible for education minors

  • AED: Art Education
  • BSPE: Physical Education
  • EED: Elementary Education (all new codes are built associated with this SIS Program code); Elementary Education and Special Education
  • KNS: Kinesiology
  • SPE: Special Education
