CURRICULUM REVISION Sample Clauses

Typically, it outlines who has the right to propose, approve, or implement modifications, and may specify timelines, required notifications, or consultation procedures with relevant stakeholders such as faculty or accrediting bodies. This clause ensures that the curriculum remains current and responsive to evolving educational standards or industry needs, while providing a clear framework to manage and document any changes.
