NOTE: If there are mandatory college level groups that apply to your proposal, you must consult with the entire group. There may or may not be a period of time after which the request is automatically completed. Any consultation requested must be completed before you will be permitted to send the proposal forward to the college administrative group. Once all consultation is complete, you will then be able to send the proposal to the college administrative group. You may be required to respond to a consultant's review if they did not concur.

Once the request is submitted, the recipient will receive an email notifying the request.
