Meetings & Deadlines

The LACC typically meets from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the first Tuesday of each month while classes are in session. Please refer to the calendar below for the time and location of the next LACC meeting, as well as the submission deadlines. The committee generally holds in-person meetings during the spring and fall semesters.

The Liberal Arts Curriculum Committee (LACC) reviews and approves undergraduate curriculum proposals for the College of Liberal Arts.

Departments within the College may submit proposals related to undergraduate programs, including: Change a Course, Change a Degree or Program, Add a Course, Delete a Course, Propose a New Degree, or Propose a New Minor.

Proposals are typically submitted to the LACC by the Department Chair or the department’s LACC representative by posting them to the SharePoint drive dedicated to the college submissions.  Directions to submit your proposal via Share Point

Graduate program proposals should be submitted to the College of Liberal Arts Graduate Curriculum Committee through Dr. Caitlyn Muniz (cnmuniz@utep.edu). Fast-track programs that include curriculum proposals should submit them simultaneously to both the undergraduate and graduate committees.

For detailed information on proposal submission requirements and processes, please visit the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs:

If you have questions about submitting a proposal, please contact Dr. Julie Rivera (jarivera6@utep.edu) and Dr. Selfa A. Chew-Meléndez (sachewsmithart@utep.edu).

Please note that proposals are reviewed by several offices for approval before advancing to the next committee. As a result, there is often a lag time of about one month between each step of the approval process. Some proposals may take 10–16 months to appear in the next catalog year.
