System-Wide Academic Program Liaisons The Academic Program Liaisons (APLs) listed below are individuals who have been appointed by their deans to serve as the main informational resource on academic program actions within their campus, college or school. The APLs meet approximately once a month with the Assistant Provost for Academic Programs as an advisory committee. If you have questions about any of the academic program policies, procedures or forms, contact your APL for more information.
