The Undergraduate Curriculum and Academic Policy Committee (UCAP) and the Graduate Curriculum and Academic Policy Committee (GCAP) report to the Faculty Council. The Faculty Council consists of the Dean (non-voting), the Associate Deans (non-voting), and three elected representatives from each Department. Representatives are elected to 3-year terms, on a staggered basis, serving no more than two consecutive terms.
