The role of the Curriculum Committee of the Undergraduate Council is to ensure consistency and quality of undergraduate curricula at the University of Tennessee. In this role, the Curriculum Committee makes recommendations to the council regarding the approval or denial of curricular changes submitted to the council for consideration.

The Curriculum Committee has 16 members, 15 of whom are named to one-year terms by the Chair of the Undergraduate Council in consultation with the council’s membership.

  • Nine committee members are elected faculty members of the Undergraduate Council.
  • Five committee members are ex-officio members of the Undergraduate Council.
  • One committee member is a student member of the Undergraduate Council.
  • The Chair of the Undergraduate Council serves as an ex-officio member of the committee.

The members of the committee will be selected by the Chair of the Undergraduate Council in a manner that ensures broad representation of colleges and collegiate divisions on the committee. All 16 members of the committee may vote.

The Chair of the Curriculum Committee is selected from among the nine elected faculty members at the last committee meeting of the spring semester of each year. The chair serves in this capacity for one year, beginning on July 1.

Each committee member may, in consultation with the Chair of the Undergraduate Council, name a proxy who has all of the privileges and responsibilities of the committee member, except that the Committee Chair’s proxy may not chair committee meetings. If the Committee Chair is unable to attend a committee meeting, the Chair of the Undergraduate Council will chair that meeting. A quorum of the committee consists of nine members (including proxies).

The Curriculum Committee typically meets two weeks before each meeting of the Undergraduate Council. Committee meetings are open to the entire university community. The agenda for each meeting will be posted on the Undergraduate Council Web site and will consist of proposals and informational items submitted by and approved by the various colleges. These should be submitted to the committee by the deadlines listed on the Undergraduate Council Web site and should be submitted in the format outlined there. Material not submitted in this format may be returned for revision prior to consideration by the Committee.

Proposals submitted to the committee may be approved and submitted to the Undergraduate Council for final approval or may be returned for revision. Proposals returned for revision must be resubmitted to the Curriculum Committee before they will be forwarded to the Undergraduate Council.
