UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM COMMITTEE (UCC) TENNESSEE TECH UNIVERSITY

Guidelines for UCC Proposal Submission

The following guidelines are based on the usages of the Curriculum Committee over a period of many years and on the administrative requirements of the Registrar’s Office with respect to catalogs, semester schedules of classes, and student records. They are intended to assist the various academic units to prepare proposals which will present the least amount of unnecessary confusion when considered by the Curriculum Committee.

If your submission needs additional edits, we will work to assist you with suggested corrections.

Proposals for new degree programs must follow policies set by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. Please refer to THEC Policy A1.0 New Academic Programs: Approval Process and Policy A1.1 Academic Program Modifications for detailed requirements. The THEC policies and checklists, and other forms are available on THEC’s website (https://www.tn.gov/thec/bureaus/academic-affairs/program-approval---academic-policies/academic-policies--checklists-and-forms.html) and TTU’s Office of the Provost website.
Requests for a THEC Academic Action Notification items must be reported to THEC on the THEC Academic Action Notification Forms along with the proposal to the University Curriculum Committee. The proposal should include justification, financial impact, implementation date, and phase-out date (if applicable). THEC Policy A1.5 Academic Actions Notification and related forms can be found on the TTU Provost’s Office website.
Additions or changes such as new minors, certificates, concentrations, concentration deletions, concentration name changes, and new programs will require a separate memo as these items will go to academic council for an additional approval process.
