Ithaca College

 Academic Policies Committee - Policy Subcommittee (APC-P) has developed an academic “Policy Proposal Form.”

The purpose of the form is to formalize the procedure for submitting academic proposals to the APC-P in order to make the process clearer and more accessible as well as to create a system by which the committee can track proposals.  The form is located on the provost’s website.

Completed forms should be emailed to apc@ithaca.edu.

All proposals should refer to academic policies. The following information from the APC Policy and Procedures Manual may be helpful in understanding the types of policies addressed by the subcommittee, who may submit proposals, and the submission process.
