This committee receives all proposals from across campus, assigns them to relevant committees such as student affairs, academic policies, or curriculum committee, and ensures that all members of the university committee (faculty, administration, and students) participate in the decision-making process. In general, AUC provides oversight of the other committees. If necessary, AUC can also establish special, ad hoc committees on issues that do not fit into existing committees, such as developing the five-year strategic plan. AUC reviews the minutes of student affairs, academic policies, and curriculum and can approve, reject, or send back for revisions the minutes if they feel it is necessary. In short, AUC discusses much of the workings of the university. next go to the provost (academic vice president) if they relate to the academics of the university. If the proposals are of non-academic matter they go to the university president, or other relevant official for approval or response.

The committee has eight faculty, three students, and three representatives from the administration, with the provost serving as ex-officio.

This committee reviews all curriculum-related matters that affect how the university delivers education to its undergraduate students.
