Administrative Modifications are changes to administrative units and/or programs.

The most common requests are the creation, renaming, or consolidation of administrative units; program transfers to another administrative unit; and program closures. Please contact Academic Programs if any assistance is required.

All administrative modifications are subject to review for potential SACSCOC considerations. Please see the link below for more information:

• SACSCOC Notification, Approval, and Assessment

Step One: Document Preparation and Submission

• Complete a Notification Memo to the Provost (SAMPLE), which must include all relevant CIP Codes (if applicable).
• The Notification Memo is to come from the Dean of the academic unit and addressed to the Provost, CCing the following:
  • Daniel Chang, Assistant Provost for Academic Programs.
  • For graduate-level proposals: Sarah Larsen, Ph.D., Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School, and the Chair of the Graduate Professional Studies Committee (GPSC).
  • For undergraduate-level proposals: Teri Longacre, Ph.D., Senior Vice Provost and Dean for Undergraduate Student Success, and the Chair of the Undergraduate Committee (UC).
• Complete the appropriate THECB form:
  • Administrative changes (ex: creation, renaming, or consolidation of administrative units)
  • Program Closures
• Confirm any potential SACSCOC considerations have been accounted for.
• Email all documents to Academic Programs.

Step Two: Proposal Review

• The proposal will move forward for faculty committee review. Upon approval, the proposal will be submitted for review by the Provost.
• Once approved by the Provost, the proposal will be submitted to the THECB for review.

Step Three: Notifications

• If approved by the THECB, Academic Programs will notify all relevant UH stakeholders to proceed in implementation via UH data systems.
