Academic Affairs & Academic Innovation
S&PD Proposal Steps:
- Submit Proposal Form A to the Associate Dean (AD)/Program Director (PD) for approval.
- AD/PD forwards Form A to Dean for approval.
- Dean forwards the approved form to the VP of Academic Innovation & Strategy via email to Rene Haripal
- Forms do not need to be signed by AD or Dean; however, approval must be indicated within the email.
- Proposals will only be accepted if sent by the Dean.
- VPAIAS provides proposals to the S&PD Committee from September through April. Submissions sent from May through August are reviewed only by the VP.
- The Committee reviews and provides recommendations to the VP. However, VP holds final authority and may override the Committee's recommendation.
- The employee receives approval/denial from the VP office via email.
- Once the approval email is received, the employee must submit a Spend Authorization in Workday within five days of approval to reserve budget funds. Travel arrangements should not be made before approval is received.
- If denied, the requestor may appeal to the VP if new information can be provided that would overturn the initial denial.
S&PD Proposal Deadlines
The dates below are the submission dates for Staff & Program Development Proposals.
Please note: Early registration due date should be at least two weeks after the date
the Committee returns its recommendations. The College only pays early registration fees. Therefore, proposals submitted with
less than a two-week lead time may result in higher personal expenses that will not
be reimbursed.
Approval emails will be sent within three business days after the Committee has made its recommendation.
