This process is in support of definitions and timing outlined in University policy 1700 and Procedure 170: Organizational Department Structure (coming soon).
It is used to request changes to the university’s organizational chart structure (department names and hierarchical relationships) across our core University systems. These changes often also have impact on employee home departments and on curriculum or course to department relationships.
Coordination and timing restrictions related to these changes are critical to ensure alignment with the many university and student-impacting processes that rely on this core data.
All requests must be submitted on behalf of a member of President’s Executive Cabinet who has awareness and is in support of the change.
As noted in the University policy & procedure, all changes must be approved by Metro State’s President. Once approved, the change to core University systems and communication surrounding it will be coordinated. The division/college/department head involved in the change will also have responsibility for coordinating some changes (see attached checklist). If your change is not approved, you will be notified.
If your change is significant and there is difficulty completing the request, select the option on the request form to meet with the Organizational Maintenance process owner.
