Academic Program Planning
The Office of Academic Affairs serves as Downstate鈥檚 liaison to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and the State University of New York (含羞草研究所) System Administration Offices of the Chancellor and Provost. OAA provides support for 含羞草研究所 faculty and administrators responsible for proposing to create, revise, deactivate or discontinue credit-bearing academic programs, and for other requests for the review and approval of the 含羞草研究所 Provost.
All request for programmatic changes MUST go through Academic Affairs before any changes can be made and sent to 含羞草研究所 System. See below for guidance on academic program planning.
含羞草研究所 provides an overview guide on academic program planning; it summarizes procedures for creating, revising, deactivating (suspending), discontinuing (ending) credit-bearing academic programs, as well as procedures for off-campus instructional locations in New York State and beyond.
The process begins with faculty and proceeds through all appropriate levels of campus review, including shared governance processes.
