Policy and procedures to create new graduate programs

The first two steps you need to take before starting on your proposal are:

1. Meet with the Associate VP Academic to ensure that what you would like to do fits with the university's academic planning.
2. Meet with the Dean of Graduate Studies to discuss what you will need to do to get through the approval process
