UNDERGRADUATE COUNCIL OVERVIEW

The Undergraduate Council (UC) of the University of Louisiana Monroe is a university-wide committee composed of administrators, faculty, staff, and additional campus leaders that makes recommendations to the VP/Provost on academic policies and practices that impact undergraduate education. These include creation, revision, and deletion of academic programs pertinent to curricula, majors, minors, degrees, and concentrations. The council also participates in periodic reviews of existing undergraduate programs.

The UC works closely with colleges, departments, and faculty to ensure academic practices align with the ULM Strategic Plan and to foster high-impact practices that ensure successful student outcomes.
