Student Affairs
The CAHS faculty views promotion and tenure as important safeguards of academic accountability and quality in higher education.
Promotion and tenure ensure that the institution’s academic mission will be guided by professionals who possess a deep and lasting commitment to collectively shape institutional decisions through their actions in departments, colleges, or the institution as a whole. Please refer to the Augusta University Promotion and Tenure Process for CAHS Guidelines and Calendar.
College of Allied Health Sciences faculty develop, propose, and approve curricula for academic programs within the college. Once approved by CAHS and, if necessary, other affected colleges, proposals are submitted to the university for final approval according to Augusta University Curriculum Policies.
Changes subjected to this review include modifications of existing academic programs and degrees, addition or deletion of courses, changes to existing courses, additions of new degree programs, majors, minors, certificate programs, and other changes affecting the content of the Augusta University Graduate and/or Undergraduate General Catalogs.
The CAHS Review Body serves in an advisory capacity to the Dean of the College of Allied Health Sciences to ensure that students who have imposed an academic sanction or who have a grievance against a faculty member are provided the appropriate due process.
Students with grievances or academic appeals should first review their department handbook and follow the listed policies and procedures.
