Approval of Courses and Teaching Programs
At McGill, the creation, revision, and retirement of credit-courses and teaching programs are subject to evaluation and approval by:
- The relevant academic committees of the teaching unit and Faculty, and
- University academic committees which assume a central quality-control function
The central academic committees are (in sequence):
- Council of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (CGPS) for graduate-level programs only
- Subcommittee on Courses and Teaching programs (SCTP), a Subcommittee of APC
- Academic Policy Committee (APC)
- Senate
For non-credit courses, approval decisions rest with the Academic Committee of the School of Continuing Studies and/or with the faculties that offer them. This does not include CEU courses and programs.
For credit courses and minor/moderate teaching program revisions, approval rests with SCTP.
For major teaching program revisions and new components of existing programs, approval rests with APC.
For all new degree programs, Certificates and Diplomas, Senate approval is required.
Proposals for new teaching programs that lead to a new degree-and-subject-combination designation require evaluation by the Commission d’évaluation des projets de programmes (CEP) of the Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI) and then approval by the Comité des programmes universitaires (CPU) of the Québec Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur (MES).
