Submitting a Proposal

To submit a proposal for AAC review, click on the tab that contains the changes that you wish to propose. Click on the link to the Google form template to create a copy. Once you’ve completed your proposal and obtained all required signatures, click on the link titled, “SUBMIT COMPLETED AAC FORM HERE” to upload your proposal for review. Any supplementary materials that you would like to include to support your proposal should be emailed to aac-proposals@augsburg.edu.
Please note that department chair signatures and any other required approvals or signatures must be present on the Google document before you submit your proposal. Signatures indicate that the individual has reviewed the proposal, they do not necessarily indicate approval by the individual. Submitting the form creates another copy of your document, so signatures obtained after you use the submission link below (or after clicking on the subpages above next to “Submitting a Proposal”) will not be accessible to AAC. All supplementary materials must also be included at the time of submission. For large proposals that impact various courses, majors, or minors, it is helpful to the committee if the proposal contains a brief narrative writeup that summarizes the various aspects of the proposal.
