The Academic Assessment Committee takes action on all requests received through the Academic Approval Approval Tracking System. These actions are defined here.
Approved
This status decision advances the request to the next approval process step for undergraduate certificate and degree programs, and ends the process for graduate and professional programs. When the final status is listed as Approved, the request has gone through the entire approval process and has been approved for implementation.
Comment
This status decision maintains the request at the same approval process step but allows text to be entered into the comment field by the AAC.
Conditionally Approved
This status decision returns the request to the approval group at the preceding process step. This decision by the AAC typically indicates that if the recommended changes are made the request will be approved by AAC staff without requiring another review by the full committee.
Denied
This status decision ends the approval tracking process for that request. Note that all data and documents associated with the request up to the denial decision are retained in the system and remain searchable.
Recycled
This status decision returns the request to the approval group in the preceding approval process step. This decision usually indicates that the requestor must modify the request by uploading revised documents and/or forms, after which the request can again be considered by the approval group to which the request was recycled.
Tabled
This status decision maintains the request at the current approval process step, typically for later review by the AAC.
