583-030-0025 General Conditions Required for Residential or Semi-residential Degree Program Authorization Effective January 13, 2015. All applicant schools must meet the following conditions to apply for initial or renewed authorization to offer a residential or semi-residential degree to Oregon residents or to offer any degree from within Oregon to persons anywhere. (1) A school must appoint a responsible administrator who resides within the state and has a business address and telephone within the state, who may transact the essential business of application, and who in any case shall be made an informed party to all such business. If a non-Oregon-based school plans a small or narrowly specialized operation within this state, the executive director may permit the applicant to use an out-of-state administrator. (2) All programs must be designed to allow all students to work toward a degree at a rate equivalent to at least half-time study. (3) No school shall be eligible to apply for authorization to offer in or from Oregon any instruction or other services leading to a doctor's degree before it has obtained accreditation or pre-accreditation candidacy at or above the bachelor's degree level recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education. However, offer of doctoral programs in another state by an unaccredited school will not automatically disqualify such school from authorization to offer degrees below the doctoral level in Oregon. The only exception to this provision is that a proposed school offering one or more doctoral programs leading to professional licensure in a field in which Oregon has such licensure may apply for approval from the Commission. In such cases, the school proposing to offer doctoral programs may apply for Commission approval only if the program is designed and intended to meet the standards for licensure required by the appropriate Oregon professional licensing board. (4) A foreign (non-U.S.) school is eligible to apply for Oregon approval if it is approved to offer degrees by the appropriate agency in its home country and the Commission finds that its home country has adequate oversight of academic programs. Foreign schools are not limited to offering in Oregon the same degrees for which they have approval in their home country, but may not offer degrees at a higher level in Oregon than those for which they have authorization in their home country.

(2) If limited or restricted residential instruction is authorized, the client organization must ensure full library services, employ persons qualified by a higher degree and experience to judge the quality of the degree program, and appoint a site coordinator who will assist with any inspections and provide information to the Commission.

583-030-0038 Nondegree Certificates and Diplomas Granted by Degree-Granting Schools Effective January 13, 2015: (1) A school that is authorized to grant a degree may also grant certificates in the same field without an independent review of the certificate, provided that the certificate is granted for completion of a specified set of courses approved in a degree curriculum as part of degree authorization. (2) A school that is authorized to grant a degree and wants to offer a certificate in a field in which the school is not authorized to grant a degree must apply for approval for the certificate. The process will be shorter and less elaborate than for a degree authorization. (3) An education provider that does not have the legal authority to offer degrees anywhere and wants to offer college-level courses for credit without applying for authority to issue degrees may apply for approval to do so under the same standards as a degree applicant. Any such approval is limited to three years unless the provider establishes a transfer agreement with at least one accredited school.

583-030-0039 Honorary Degrees Effective January 13, 2015. A school authorized under this rule to offer academic degrees at or above the baccalaureate level may obtain permission from the commission, or be permitted by the standards of an accreditor under OAR 583-030-0037, to confer an honorary degree with a title clearly differentiated from the titles of earned degrees authorized or likely to be authorized in the state. The basis for a proposed honorary degree must be consistent with generally accepted practice among long established colleges and universities, thus reflecting great scholarly achievement, professional distinction, or humanitarian service. An honorary degree must be represented so as to be clearly not earned through collegiate study. No school shall otherwise offer or confer an honorary degree in or from Oregon. An honorary degree is honorific only and is not a public credential valid for academic and professional purposes.
