Developing or modifying a minor
If you're developing a new minor, or modifying an existing minor, first consult the associate dean academic in your faculty. Regulations and forms for minors are specific to each faculty.
To establish a new BA/BSc (90-credit hour degree) with a Minor (concentration), please refer to the process for new programs or major modifications.
Modifications to existing minors are considered 'major' if they impact any of following:
- Name
- Rationale
- Learning outcomes
- Eligibility
Modifications falling below this threshold are considered 'minor' and are delegated to the faculty for approval (consult your associate dean academic to discuss the extent of proposed modifications to a minor program).
Suspending or terminating a minor
For suspension or termination of a minor, please use the Suspension Form [PDF] (login required) for degrees/majors.
Approval process for minors
Proposals for minors are recommended for approval by the Senate Academic Programs and Research Committee (SAPRC) and the Undergraduate Academic Programs Subcommittee (UAPSC).
Process for new minors, major modifications, suspensions, or terminations
