Timelines
When planning proposals, the relevant submission deadlines must be taken into account. Proponents will need to factor in Faculty and School processes/deadlines, University Learning Committee (ULC) deadlines (if relevant) and Program Approval and Entry Committee (PAEC) deadlines.
The flowchart below provides a guide to the sequence of submission deadlines for the central University committees involved in the approval process. In addition to the lead times indicated below, proponents should allow additional time for:
- School and Faculty approval processes
- Research Education and Development Committee processes (for research degrees)
- Resolution of any issues that may arise at one or more steps in the process.

New academic program proposals for 2012 must reach the PAEC Executive Officer by the dates set out below in order to meet publication deadlines. These dates do not take into account that proposals for the addition of a new program or the revision of an existing program must first be considered by the APAG.
Proposals will be considered after these publication deadlines and Faculties are of course able to implement their own additional marketing strategies at their own expense. However, the Faculty must weigh up the benefits and costs of introducing a program if it is not included in a key publication or promoted at a key event.
