Level I items are those requests for which the Board of Regents has fully designated approval authority to the institution or Commissioner of Higher Education. These requests are to be submitted for notification to or approval by Commissioner as Level I proposals. Level I proposals may be submitted to OCHE at any time by the flagship campuses or community colleges and will be processed on a rolling monthly schedule. The approval of such proposals will be conveyed to the Board of Regents at the next meeting of the board. Level I proposals include campus initiatives typically characterized by minimal costs, clear adherence to approved campus mission, and the absence of significant programmatic impact on other institutions within the MUS and community colleges.
*All Level I items should be submitted to Joe Thiel.

DDDD- The month and last two digits of the year the item is submitted.
