Undergraduate Curriculum and Academic Policy committee (UCAP)

Committee duties: UCAP reviews and acts on proposals for undergraduate course and program revisions, additions, or deletions. Curricular oversight extends to the Honors Curriculum submitted for review by the Honors Director through the Honors Council. UCAP also provides input on undergraduate curriculum and academic policy issues at both the institutional and MinnState levels. Each member represents their unit on matters pertaining to undergraduate curriculum and policy. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to review of undergraduate curriculum proposals; collaboration with college curriculum committees; assist faculty members in their respective colleges with undergraduate curriculum proposals and the use of the Curriculum Design System (CDS); bring forward academic policy issues and concerns to the UCAP Committee for discussion among the faculty committee members and at the UCAP Sub Meet and Confer; and review and recommend undergraduate academic policy revisions at both the institutional and MinnState levels.

Time commitment: The UCAP committee meets every other week or so during Fall semester. The committee meets weekly for 2 hours per meeting during Spring semester, potential longer, in order to process curriculum proposals in a timely manner.
