CAR and GPAR Systems to be retired in 2025
The Course Action Request (CAR) and Graduate Program Action Request (GPAR) systems will be decommissioned in the summer of 2025. In order to ensure that all pending proposals have been reviewed prior to the planned shutdown, the deadline for submitting new proposals in those systems is February 1, 2025. See the Graduate School and University Senate websites for more information.
