The Provost’s Advisory Committee on Undergraduate Programs (PACUP) is a committee composed of a breadth of professorial leadership across the University. It reviews academic planning proposals that pertain to undergraduate programs, including new and revised majors, concentrations, etc.
During the academic year, PACUP meets once each month to review accumulated proposals which members have had an opportunity to examine in advance. The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies chairs the meetings, and the provost's cabinet is given the opportunity to comment on proposals before they reach PACUP.
Policy AC 52 Provost’s Advisory Committee on Undergraduate Programs establishes the membership and responsibility of PACUP.
2024–2025 Meeting Dates
All meetings, with the exception of the September meeting, are scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month, from 3 to 4:30 p.m., and will be held in person in the 817 CL conference room. Only participants from the regional campuses will receive a Zoom meeting invitation to join remotely each month.
