Timelines for Advanced Certificate Proposals


Table 1 shows two potential scenarios for developing a graduate certificate. Both result in a September program launch. The first provides lead-time to begin marketing by May in advance of the September start. In that case, the deadline for center completion, approval and transmission of the concept proposal in final form is August 21 in the year preceding the launch, which allows 30-day comment period and transmission of comments before the start of the of the winter no appointment period and submission of the program proposal to SUNY by March 1. The deadline for center completion, approval and transmission of the program proposal (including dean approval) in final form is mid-October – the start of the fall term is ideal. This provides time to begin marketing by May.

The second scenario shows the latest possible beginning of the process permitting a program launch the following September. This start precludes start-up marketing and results in a soft launch. This launch without marketing presumes that relevant courses/studies will be included in the fall term guide as a matter of course. In this case, the deadline for center completion, approval and transmission of the concept proposal in final form is mid-November and the deadline for center completion of the full proposal is mid-February.

Timelines for New Undergraduate Certificate Proposals


Table 2 shows two potential scenarios for developing an undergraduate certificate. Both result in a September program launch. The first provides lead-time to begin marketing by May in advance of the September start. In that case, the deadline for the design team to submit the concept proposal in final form to the AVP for Academic Programs is August 21, which allows 30-day comment period and transmission of comments before the start of the of the winter no appointment period and submission of the program proposal to SUNY by March 1. The deadline for the design team to submit the program proposal in final form to the AVP for Academic Programs is mid-October – the start of the fall term is ideal. This provides time to begin marketing by May.

The second scenario shows the latest possible beginning of the process permitting a program launch the following September. This start precludes start-up marketing and results in a soft launch. This launch without marketing presumes that relevant courses/studies will be included in the fall term guide as a matter of course. In this case, the deadline for the design team to submit the concept proposal in final form is December 1 of the year preceding the launch and the deadline for the design team to submit the full proposal is mid-February. This is a very short window for proposal development, so an earlier start may be preferable.



The design team for undergraduate certificates offered across the college includes representation from at least two regional centers, and one each from CDL, CIP and the Labor Center (the latter two deans may decline). The team is strongly encouraged to consult the AVP for Academic Programs early in the discussions.
