For the past several years, because of the changing over to a new system, the dates and deadlines for making program changes has been extremely flexible (actually not existent). However, new deadlines are going to be strictly enforced to ensure that catalogs can be done and accurate before the new freshmen class arrives. Therefore, when planning on curriculum reviews of undergraduate programs, these deadlines need to be considered by the curriculum committees. In other words, we all need to plan ahead for changes to our programs. As noted below, any changes to the 2012-2013 catalog will need to be submitted by Feb. 10, 2012. I have copied this email to the advisors, as they are the main contact people with the degree audit office. Please let me know if our office can be of any assistance with this process.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Happy Thanksgiving!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Elaine<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Elaine Marchello, Ph.D.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Interim Bart Cardon Associate Dean, Academics<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Assistant Dean, Academic Programs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Bart Cardon Teaching Academy Fellow<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>College of Agriculture and Life Sciences<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Undergraduate Program Coordinator and <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Professor of Practice <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Dept. of Veterinary Science and Microbiology<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Forbes 201<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>(520) 626-3631<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> King, Patti J - (pattik) <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, November 15, 2011 12:48 PM<br><b>To:</b> Marchello, Elaine V - (evm)<br><b>Cc:</b> Rodriguez Lorta, Nancy G - (nancyr)<br><b>Subject:</b> 2012-13 Degree Requirement Updates and Deadlines<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dear Elaine,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As you know, many changes have occurred in the past year with regard to degree audit and the addition of a degree tracking system.

All updates received by the February deadline will be entered in the degree audit, degree tracker and 2012-13 UA Catalog and made available to current and future students next spring in time for them to make decisions about programs and courses for the 2012-13 academic year.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A new Degree Requirement Updates web site (<a href="http://confluence.arizona.edu/confluence/display/DRU/Degree+Requirement+Updates">http://confluence.arizona.edu/confluence/display/DRU/Degree+Requirement+Updates</a>) has been created to assist you in reviewing the degree requirements for academic programs in your college/unit.
