Close or Discontinue a Program
Use this form to request the discontinuance of an academic program (including graduate certificates) or an academic specialization or concentration (or area, field, track, etc.). This request requires EPC approval, SMU Board of Trustees approval, and, with the exception of specializations or concentrations, SACSCOC approval BEFORE closure can occur, so please allow at least one academic year for approval before closure for programs or transcripted specializations and at least one full academic term for non-transcripted concentrations or specializations.
