Each Maricopa college has its own approval process. Routinely, however, items should be submitted through the college president's office in time to allow for the item to reach the Governing Board Office by the deadline. It is the responsibility of the person submitting the item to have all the required information correct and complete. Any incomplete items submitted will not be accepted. Appropriate department initials will be obtained after submission by the Governing Board staff. If you have questions, please contact the Governing Board Assistant at (480) 731-8889.
