Deadline Calendars

The calendar serves as a reminder of the deadlines by which a proposal must be fully approved and completed in order to be considered for a presentation at the Committee on Academic Program, Policy, and Research (CAPPR) of the CUNY Board of Trustees. The University Office of Academic Affairs is committed to facilitating this process and helping the colleges prepare a proposal that is carefully focused and well-defined in terms of the College's and the University's goals. Colleges are encouraged to consult with the Director of Program Review as early as possible in order to work out a tentative timetable. »
