The Program and Partnership Request Process

Ongoing submissions are being accepted for the Program and Partnership Request Process

The Program and Partnership Request Process website provides information, resources, templates, and guidelines to establish new academic programs and external partnerships, make substantive changes to existing academic programs, and/or establish or change organizational structures of academic units at Northern Arizona University.

Developing an entirely new academic program, changing the modality or location for an existing program, implementing innovations, and teaching out an inactivated program all require close collaboration across multiple academic and non-academic areas of the University.

In order to create the smoothest possible experience for faculty, department chairs, and Deans, the Provost’s Office developed this process to bring academic and non-academic areas together to collaboratively support you in the implementation of your new program, location, or initiative.

General Review and Approval Process

Below is a general overview of the process required to fulfill your request. Note that the process always has two phases: A Concept Approval Phase and a Full Proposal Phase. Although this General Process provides an overview, each process below is unique.
