A. Purge Lists (pg. 38-42) The board reviewed the purge lists; all feedback must be received by the Governance office by March 14th B. Dean of the Graduate School discussion with Helena Wisniewski Chapter 12 discussion regarding thesis approval by the Graduate School Certain colleges have had problems with theses getting approved by the Graduate School, including feedback on theses concerning grammatical and formatting issues after the department and committee has approved it Students work intensely with their chair and their committee before getting committee approval; does the Graduate School need to be involved after that point? Is there an educational purpose for having the Graduate School review theses? Clarification is needed on what theses/final projects get reviewed by the Graduate School Possible solutions are:
having the Graduate School take a role earlier in the process (before the committee/department approves them) versus after
The Graduate School should provide feedback to departments if theses are grammatically incorrect to solve the problem in the long term
Offering thesis training/advising for graduate students Need to clarify advisor roles regarding theses Graduate School will look at UAF and other peer institutions regarding the Chapter 12 wording/Graduate School role

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
University Center (UC), Room 155, (907) 786‐1924
www.uaa.alaska.edu/pm
The Master of Science degree in Project Management (MSPM) is designed to provide a rigorous background in contemporary theory and practice in
project management, strengthened through the extensive application of tools, concepts and critical thinking in a case study environment. The MSPM
provides students with perspectives and skills to prepare them for increasingly significant and complex project leadership roles within a broad range of
public and private sector organizations: engineering, construction, oil and gas, natural resources, health care, information technology, communications,
utilities, education, financial services, government, military, transportation, and others.
The MSPM degree program is accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Global Accreditation Center (GAC). The structure and content of
the curriculum is designed to enable students to learn, apply, and demonstrate mastery of project management theory and practice in the context of
hands‐on project case studies managed and integrated progressively over the end‐to‐end project lifecycle as well as electives that provide opportunities
for advanced study and application of project management in targeted industry sectors. Additionally, students will develop and strengthen leadership,
communication, teamwork, and professional responsibility traits necessary to lead and manage successful projects in a complex, global environment.
The MSPM degree requires a research or project oriented capstone.
The program serves full‐ and part‐time students. Classes are generally held during the evening and selectively on weekends. The program provides a
unique, real‐time distance educational environment where students from across the state and around the world can join local students and faculty in the
live classroom environment. This approach also accommodates students who may need to travel regularly for their employment.
Master of Science,
Project Management

2. Demonstrate the ability to employ the full range of project management tools and techniques to best satisfy industry and agency stakeholder
requirements.
3. Conduct research that significantly contributes to and expands the diverse project management body of knowledge and produces a final
project and product that demonstrates academic and project management success.

Professional Program Fee
8
DRAFT on 3/5/12 A professional program fee is required of all students in the MSPM program in addition to course tuition fees, fees, course material fees, and student
activity fees. The professional program fee is a sum equal to the current level of resident graduate level tuition. Therefore, this fee is applied to either
resident or non‐resident tuition equally and is charged upon enrollment in PM courses. The fee contributes directly to program support.

Microsoft Excel)
• Sending and receiving e‐mail with attachments
• Accessing and navigating the Internet/World Wide Web
• Understanding how to use basic software, computer, and peripheral hardware.
Remote (distance) students in the program are additionally responsible for:
• Any incremental, individual long distance or high speed Internet connection costs
• Any additional hardware (such as webcams, headsets, etc.) necessary to facilitate class participation
• Contacting the distance learning coordinator before classes start to set up and arrange for distance delivery.
Academic Progress Students enrolled in the MSPM program must:
• Achieve at least a 3.00 (B) in each of the program’s required courses.
• Must receive a 3.00 (B) or better in all core classes.
• Receive no more than one 2.00 (C) grade in any elective course.
• Earn all credits, including transfer credits, within a consecutive seven‐year period prior to graduation. See University Requirement for Graduate

Plans.
The faculty reserves the right, where warranted by evaluation of a student’s progress and apparent knowledge, to require additional
9
DRAFT on 3/5/12 coursework or other preparation to ensure the degree candidate possesses adequate professional skills and capabilities. This includes the ability to
reason and communicate effectively orally, in writing, and quantitatively.
Noncompliance with academic progress expectations will result in probation and possible dismissal from the program. See the Academic
Good Standing Policy in this chapter for more information.
Course Delivery Students in the MSPM program can attend courses in the classroom and/or by state‐of‐the‐art, real‐time video capabilities. This format allows students
from across the state and around the world to join local students and faculty in real time, in the classroom as an active course participant using readily
available, off‐the‐shelf technology. This real‐time capability also enables students who must travel during the semester to join the class via ad hoc
connections from wherever they may be located (connection speed permitting). Additionally, all class sessions are recorded and posted to the UAA
Learning Management System after the class session is completed so that students can review the material in the event that a class session is missed.
This approach provides flexibility for students to begin and complete the program from wherever their work assignments or personal situations may
take them.

Note: The department retains the right to remove any student from the program who fails to maintain sufficient academic performance and
progress.
Additional Requirements
Enrolled students must have access to a personal computer and Internet connection speed the department finds acceptable. All students are expected to
have basic computer and keyboarding skills prior to entry into the program, for example:
• Word processing (preferably Microsoft Word), presentation software (preferably Microsoft PowerPoint) and spreadsheet software (preferably
Microsoft Excel)
• Sending and receiving e‐mail with attachments
• Accessing and navigating the Internet/World Wide Web
• Understanding how to use basic software, computer, and peripheral hardware.
Remote (distance) students in the program are additionally responsible for:
• Any incremental, individual long distance or high speed Internet connection costs
• Any additional hardware (such as webcams, headsets, etc.) necessary to facilitate class participation
• Contacting the distance learning coordinator before classes start to set up and arrange for distance delivery.
Academic Progress Students enrolled in the MSPM program must:
• Achieve at least a 3.00 (B) in each of the program’s required courses.
• Must receive a 3.00 (B) or better in all core classes.
• Receive no more than one 2.00 (C) grade in any elective course.

Studies Plans.
The faculty reserves the right, where warranted by evaluation of a student’s progress and apparent knowledge, to require additional
coursework or other preparation to ensure the degree candidate possesses adequate professional skills and capabilities. This includes the ability to
reason and communicate effectively orally, in writing, and quantitatively.
Noncompliance with academic progress expectations will result in probation and possible dismissal from the program. See the Academic
Good Standing Policy in this chapter for more information.
Course Delivery Students in the MSPM program can attend courses in the classroom and/or by state‐of‐the‐art, real‐time video capabilities. This format allows students
from across the state and around the world to join local students and faculty in real time, in the classroom as an active course participant using readily
available, off‐the‐shelf technology. This real‐time capability also enables students who must travel during the semester to join the class via ad hoc
connections from wherever they may be located (connection speed permitting). Additionally, all class sessions are recorded and posted to the UAA
Learning Management System after the class session is completed so that students can review the material in the event that a class session is missed.
This approach provides flexibility for students to begin and complete the program from wherever their work assignments or personal situations may
take them.

Memorandum
Date: 20 February 2012
To: Michael Driscoll, Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
321 I Providence Drive Anchorage, AK 99508-4614
T 907.786.1050, F 907.786.1426 www.uaa.alaska.edu/academicaffairs/
From : Bart Quimby, Interim Vice Provost for Curriculum & Assessment Helena Wisniewski, Vice Provost for Research & Graduate Studies, Dean of the Graduate School Megan Carlson, Assistant Vice Provost/Accreditation liaison Officer David Yesner, Associate Dean of the Graduate School
RE: Curriculum, Academic Assessment, Program Review, Program Accreditation, and Academic Petition Responsibilities
The time is right to solidify the Graduate School's role in the curriculum, academic assessment, program review, and program accreditation processes. The intent of the memorandum is to summarize the principles, responsibilities, and processes which have been discussed at this point and to recommend that these be formalized .
In any of the responsibilities discussed below the mentioned Vice Provost may delegate to an appropriate alternate. For example, the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies (VPRGS) frequently delegates some responsibilities to the Associate Dean of the Graduate School.
Principles
The basic principle guiding this document is that the Graduate School should have a hand in all issues which relate to the University's graduate programs. Separating the responsibilities along clearly identified graduate/undergraduate lines will clarify the various responsibilities and provide more focus in these areas of responsibility by the two offices involved.
A second principle guiding the discussion has been the need for consistency. The division of responsibilities increases the possibility of inconsistent advice, requirements, and assistance being given to undergraduate and graduate programs. With this principle in mind, processes are proposed which should enhance communication and consistency.
Finally, the proposed changes recognize that the Provost has the primary responsibility for the curriculum review and approval within OAA and delegates authority for that responsibility as needed. In certain cases the Provost may choose to assume direct responsibility for particular curricular proposals.
Curriculum Responsibilities
To date, curriculum (for both programs and courses) has followed a well-established process including review and approval by departments, college curriculum committees, deans/directors, academic boards, and the Faculty Senate. Once curriculum has been approved by the Faculty Senate, it goes to the Office
69
of Academic Affairs (OAA) for Provost's review. This review for all curricular proposals has been delegated to the Vice Provost for Curriculum and Assessment (VPCA) who has the authority to approve or disapprove the proposed curricular actions.
If the curricular proposals require further review by the Regents (BoR) or NWCCU, prospectuses have been developed by the initiating faculty under the guidance of the VPCA and forwarded by OAA to the Statewide Academic Council (SAC) and the BoR. Prospectuses for new or significantly changed programs approved by the BoR are then finalized by the Assistant Vice Provost/Accreditation Liaison Officer (AVP/ALO), who submits the final packets to the NWCCU for review. Once all required approvals are obtained, the proposed curriculum actions are approved by OAA and are returned to the Governance Office to be forwarded to the Registrar's office for inclusion in Banner.
It is proposed that the established process for curriculum approval be changed after the step where the Faculty Senate approves the curriculum. Review and approval of all graduate curricular proposals are to be delegated to the VPRGS. Review and approval of undergraduate curricular proposals will continue to be delegated to the VPCA. The VPRGS may include input by the Graduate Council in the review of proposed graduate curriculum once the curriculum proposals reach OAA.
It is also proposed that the AVP/ALO and the office of VPRGS will take the lead in assisting departments with the development of the required documents for graduate programs (i.e. any degree, certificate, or workforce credential beyond the baccalaureate degree) seeking changes requiring SAC, BoR, and/or NWCCU approval. Similarly the AVP/ALO and the VPCA will take the lead in assisting undergraduate programs as they prepare their documents for the various approval bodies. To better ensure consistency and compliance with UA System and NWCCU approval processes and expectations, following the approval by the Faculty Senate, the AVP/ALO will take the lead, with input from the appropriate Vice Provost, in preparing and submitting all necessary documents to the Provost for submission to SAC and the BoR. The AVP/ALO will serve as the single point of contact for the Provost for curriculum reviewed by SAC and the BoR. Upon approval by SAC and the BoR, the AVP/ALO will prepare the prospectus for final submission to the NWCCU, with final review and comment by the appropriate VP prior to submission to the NWCCU. If communication with the Commission is necessary regarding a curriculum proposal, the AVP/ALO will initiate it in concert with the appropriate VP.
Academic Board Representation
The VPRGS will represent OAA on the Graduate Academic Board (GAB) and the VPCA will represent OAA on the Undergraduate Academic Board (UAB). By having ex-officio members on these boards OAA will remain informed on the current curricular issues and be able to take an active role in the discussion of these issues while they are still before the faculty. With such a process, OAA will understand the curricular proposals when they arrive and the appropriate actions can be taken.
Academic Assessment Responsibilities
The academic assessment processes are defined in the recently approved Academic Assessment Handbook. In these processes, guidance for program academic assessment is assigned to the Academic Assessment Committee (AAC) of the Faculty Senate. Currently, the VPCA serves as an ex-officio member of this committee. It is proposed that both the VPCA and VPRGS both sit on this committee to remain aware of assessment issues facing both undergraduate and graduate programs. The VPCA will assist
2 70
with undergraduate programs and the VPRGS will assist with graduate programs. Having both VPs on the committee will keep them informed of the quality of programs within their realms of responsibility.
The VPCA will continue to take the lead on providing administrative support for the AAC and will collaborate with the VPRGS to produce the chapter on assessment required by the annual performance report.
Program Review Responsibilities
In keeping with the principle of division of responsibility along undergraduate/graduate lines, the VPCA will work with departments reviewing undergraduate programs and VPRGS will work with departments reviewing graduate programs. Both the VPCA and VPRGS will participate when departments present program reviews which include both undergraduate and graduate programs. The VPCA will continue to coordinate the process with the deans with input from the VPRGS.
Program Accreditation Responsibilities
The AVP/ALO will coordinate the OAA review of documents produced by programs seeking or reaffirming program accreditation. The AVP/ALO and VPCA will be responsible for reviewing accreditation documents for undergraduate programs and the AVP/ALO and VPRGS will be responsible for reviewing accreditation documents for graduate programs. When programs have accreditation for both undergraduate and graduate programs, both VPs and the AVP/ALO will work collaboratively on document review. The VPs will work in concert with the AVP/ALO to develop correspondence to Visiting teams when it affects their respective areas (Le. undergraduate, graduate, research, etc.). The VPCA, VPRGS, and AVP/ ALO will participate in program accreditation site visits as requested by the visiting teams and may represent the Provost during site visits as needed.
Academic Petition Responsibilities
Under the current process, the VPCA reviews and approves all petitions relating to General Education Requirements and for exceptions to academic policy. The VPRGS reviews petitions relative to graduate studies. It is proposed that this division be clarified with the VPCA being delegated responsibility for all academic petitions by undergraduate students and the VPRGS being responsible for all academic petitions by graduate students.
Processes for Consistency
In the interest of consistency, it is proposed that the VPCA and VPGRS meet at least monthly with the Registrar to consider issues relating to academic policy. The VPCA has been meeting with the Registrar's office for several years and has found it very useful to identify areas where academic policy may need to be revisited, as well as to develop a consistent approach to dealing with academic appeals. The addition of the VPRGS to the discussion will allow for discussion about unified approaches to dealing with academic issues.
The AVP/ALO will work in concert with the appropriate VP to ensure consistency in the development of documents necessary for program approval by SAC, BoR, and/or NWCCU. The AVP/ALO will maintain

the necessary templates and participate in all preliminary discussions for proposed new and significantly changed programs along with the appropriate VP.
Another opportunity for collaboration is on the Provost's Policy Advisory Committee (PAC). Currently both the VPCA and VPRGS have seats on the PAC where policy issues of interest to the campus are discussed. The PAC meets at least once a month .
Implementation
On the approval authority of the Provost (signed below) the proposed processes can be implemented immediately. Upon the approval of the Provost, our offices will communicate these changes to the Full Council of Deans and Directors, the Office of the Registrar, and faculty governance leadership, and work with the academic boards to integr. te these changes into the Curriculum Handbook.
