This committee shall consist of nine ordinary members of the Division. It shall also have one undergraduate student representative and one graduate student representative, who shall not have the right to vote. One member shall serve on the University Committee on Educational Policy [see Bylaw 185(C)(8) and SBL 170]. Members of the committee shall serve as chairs of the CEP Subcommittee on Appeals for Students with Disabilities, the CEP Subcommittee on Grade Appeals, the CEP Subcommittee on Subject A Appeals, and the CEP Subcommittee on Undergraduate Courses of the Committee on Educational Policy and Courses.

Duties |
| |
(2) |
The committee shall have the power to initiate recommendations to the Division concerning the educational policy and curriculum of any college, department, faculty, or institute wholly or partly responsible to the Division. In making these recommendations, the committee shall take cognizance of the Academic Master Plan for the University of California, San Diego. |
| |
(3) |
The committee shall have the authority, on behalf of the Division, subject to the provisions for appeal in Bylaw 155, to review and to approve or disapprove all new undergraduate programs and changes to existing programs in any department, interdisciplinary program, or equivalent unit wholly or partially responsible to the Division. Proposals for the establishment of a new degree title shall, however, be forwarded to the Representative Assembly for action. [En 4/25/95] |
| |
(4) |
The committee shall review the proposed undergraduate academic plan of a college and any proposed amendments to the undergraduate academic plan of a college. [An academic plan is a set of specifications covering educational philosophy, organizational structure, general education and distribution requirements, major fields or alternative modes of specialization, degree requirements, transfers among colleges, relation of undergraduate to graduate programs, use of facilities, and deployment of faculty.] The committee shall report its findings to the Division for such action as the Division wishes to take. Upon Divisional approval of the academic plan, or its amendments, its implementation shall be given over to the faculty of the college. All elements of the academic plan, including the curricula and courses which derive from it shall be subject to review by the committee. Final authority over courses, thus considered, will rest with the Division. [Am 5/25/76, Rt 6/9/76] |
| |
(5) |
The committee shall have the authority, on behalf of the Division, to conduct regular periodic reviews of all undergraduate programs. [En 4/25/95] |
| |
(6) |
The committee shall have the authority, on behalf of the Division, to review and to approve or disapprove all petitions from students for exception to the Regulations of the Academic Senate, including the Regulations of the San Diego Division. The committee may, under such guidelines as the committee shall from time to time establish, redelegate all or part of this authority to a committee consisting of the Provosts of the undergraduate colleges, and the Dean of Graduate Studies; provided, however, that the Committee on Educational Policy shall retain the authority to review petitions for exception to the regulations governing minimum credit-units and minimum GPA standards for graduation. The Provosts and the Dean shall submit to the Committee on Educational Policy an annual report summarizing all exceptions to the regulations granted during the preceding year. Decisions of the Provosts and the Dean may be appealed to the Committee on Educational Policy. Decisions of the Committee on Educational Policy shall be final, except that any three ordinary members of the committee, in dissenting from the majority, may require that the petition be forwarded to the Representative Assembly for final action. [En 4/25/95] |

The committee may suspend or withdraw approval of undergraduate courses and University Extension courses which carry UCSD undergraduate degree credit. In taking these actions, it shall give full consideration to the views and conclusions of appropriate departments, faculties, programs, and faculty members.

The committee shall supervise the Division's endorsement of publications dealing in any way with educational matters.
