Suggested Protocol

Making Contact.  To request time on an upcoming UC agenda, please complete the University Council Presentation Request Form. UCEC members review policy proposals in advance of each UCEC meeting to determine if they should be included on the agenda of the next, or an upcoming UC meeting. Tamaira will contact you after UCEC’s meeting to confirm dates, times, materials submission and other details for the full UC meeting.

Following Up.  Upon request, Tamaira will send presenters the first draft of UC minutes to review for accuracy and respond with edits if needed.  It is vitally important to respond by the stated deadline; the final draft of meeting minutes are typically distributed to UC members the Friday prior to the next  UC meeting.
