Department Approval Process

Forms requiring the department chair’s signature:  

Off-Campus Course Approval Forms, Summer School Approval Forms, etc., can be processed expeditiously if you submit your form at least a day in advance to the department secretary  in the Economics Department Office. The secretary  will verify that the forms are complete, obtain the chair’s signature if required, update the department’s records and make any necessary photocopies. You will usually be able to pick up the form at the Department Office by the next day.  (For a more detailed explanation of the process see below.)
