Changes to Graduate Programs and
Bulletin Entries
- Bulletin Updates
- Bulletin updates are made annually. In September, you will be sent an electronic (.rtf) file of your school's/department's entry. Use the "Track Changes" feature so changes can be readily compared and incorporated. Files cannot simply be substituted.
- Before routing the updated files to the University Graduate School, the following approvals are necessary:
• for IUB programs, changes must be routed to the school dean for approval (for programs in the IUB College of Arts & Sciences, please route updates to coasgrad AT indiana.edu).
• for IUPUI programs, changes must be routed to the IUPUI Graduate Office for approval: Beth Young, Curriculum Specialist, ejmoody AT iupui.edu, (317) 278-4326.
- Once the school has approved the bulletin updates, they should be forwarded to the University Graduate School curriculum assistant: cursuppt AT indiana.edu, (812) 855-5774.
- Bulletin updates are typically due to the University Graduate School no later than the first week of November.
- Faculty Changes
- Graduate faculty membership. All tenured or tenure-track members of the faculty are automatically appointed to the graduate faculty. Graduate Faculty Listing (.xls)

- Program Changes
- Before proposing any changes, please consult the current University Graduate School Bulletin's "General Requirements" and "Academic Requirements," which provide broad outlines of university-accepted policies.
- Program changes require formal approval by both the school dean and the dean of the University Graduate School. Examples of such changes include: addition or deletion of degree programs, changes to curriculum requirements, changes to program tracks or emphases, changes to skill of language requirements, changes in exam administration or policies.
- New Graduate Program / Degree / PhD Minor. Once a new program has received final approval, please contact the curriculum assistant (cursuppt AT indiana.edu) to ensure that the program is included in the University Graduate School Bulletin.
- Curriculum Changes
- Any graduate-credit course proposal, change (including any rewording of the course description), or deletion must go through the University Graduate School's remonstrance process.
