Minor Program Revisions include things such as:
- Adding, replacing, or removing an admission requirement
- Adding, replacing, or removing courses in the plan of study, provided that the change constitutes less than 30% of the curriculum (which includes cumulative changes to the curriculum – e.g., if the program has already had a minor revision involving 20% of the curriculum, another 15% change would exceed 30%).
NOTE: To be a minor revision, the change cannot alter the program’s focus or design, add or eliminate disciplinary tracks, or eliminate a requirement for program completion (e.g., culminating assessment like an internship, clinical placement, etc.).
Schedule a Meeting with APLI
If you have Minor Program Revision, your first step is to schedule a meeting with Academic Planning & Learning Innovation (APLI). They can confirm for you whether the revision is a Major Revision or a Minor Revision, and they will point you to the correct paperwork, pre-filling some content as possible.
- If your program revision is Graduate-level, book a GR Curriculum Meeting with Vika Shock and Shala Mills.
- If your program revision is Undergraduate-level, contact Val McAllister at mcallisv@newpaltz.edu or Shala Mills at mills@newpaltz.edu.
