In order to facilitate the uniform review of proposals, as well as to assist proposing units with the fullest possible development of their programmatic strategies, many forms, templates and other proposal instruments have been developed. Below, please find links to some of these documents. As always, you are encouraged to contact (graduate.asu.edu/gapd/contact.html) the Graduate College at the earliest stages of proposal development.

• Curriculum Development Form
  Prior to the development of a full-blown proposal, the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost of the University wants to insure that all new curricular initiatives be reviewed and implemented strategically from a university perspective. Please refer to the Office of the Provost Curriculum Development website for additional information regarding the Curriculum Development Form.

• Changes to Existing Graduate Academic Programs

  This form should be used when a unit is proposing a change to an already-approved academic program. These changes might include changes to the minimum required hours for a degree, a change to the culminating experience option(s) available to students in a program, a change in delivery format for a degree program, or the establishment of a dual or concurrent degree program.
