The Executive Subcommittee

The Executive Subcommittee does not address active documents specifically, but has oversight of the general procedural and administrative operations of the Undergraduate Committee.

Cautions about the approval process

Course description changes and new courses cannot take effect until approved by the Provost's office, and the Provost's Office asks that they not be published prior to that time without clear cautions (e.g. to students, on College websites).

The implementation of new Degree offerings; policy changes which may affect the whole University or all or part of the UH System; or changes which relate to State or Federal directives will, in addition to the Provost's approval, also require the approval of the Coordinating Board and the State Trustees, and likewise cannot be officially implemented until all such needed approvals have been secured.
