Curriculum and Academic Policy
The Curriculum and Academic Policy office provides the support, coordination, and structure for faculty and committees that design, develop, and assess undergraduate and professional for-credit programs at the University of Florida. Through shared governance, we cultivate a collegial and connected academic community. Dialogue, mutual respect, and thoughtful discussion are central to how we grow and improve.
With a focus on stewardship and service, we reduce faculty administrative burden while promoting innovation and responsiveness in a rapidly changing educational landscape. Our processes are informed by data, measured by outcomes, and driven by a continuous pursuit of improvement to build programs that match the integrity, rigor, and excellence of our students. At UF, curriculum and academic policy are more than procedures—they are the framework through which we shape impactful learning experiences, uphold institutional values, and prepare students for a dynamic world.
