EApp Governance Process

The EApp Governance Committee reviews and recommends proposed changes to the EApp. This committee enables proposed EApp changes to be evaluated and vetted by a diverse group of individuals, ensuring the EApp is maintained and developed in a strategic manner. Within the context of available resources, the committee evaluates proposals based on potential benefits for applicants, efficiencies for campus/business operations, and advancements in access, equity, and inclusion
