Procedures Heading link
Periodically the Office of Academic Programs (AP) sends out a list of approved courses that have not been offered during a specific three-year period. Units are asked to examine the list and notify AP of errors or requests to retain courses by a certain date. Courses for which a request for retention is not received are dropped automatically and removed from future catalogs.
