Standing Committees

The Undergraduate Council has broad responsibility for advising on all undergraduate academic policies and activities of the University on its Oxford and satellite campus locations (excluding the University Medical Center). This includes the consideration of new degree programs, formulation and refinement of undergraduate regulations, consideration of undergraduate courses for approval, and decisions on petitions from students who are requesting waiver of campus-wide (as opposed to departmental or school) undergraduate degree requirements. Recommendations from the Undergraduate Council and minutes of its meetings are forwarded to the Chancellor, with copies to the Provost and to the Council of Academic Administrators. The faculty representatives on this committee must be tenured professorial faculty.
