Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The Board requires each institution to obtain one of the
					 following types of approval for a certificate or degree program. No approval is
					 required for new tracks of study in an existing degree program and tracks of
					 study are not listed as separate degree programs in the Program
					 Inventory.
(1) Notification Only--this
				  approval is obtained when the institution of higher education successfully
				  submits and receives confirmation of its submission to Board Staff.
(2) Assistant Commissioner Approval-a
				  proposed program subject to Assistant Commissioner Approval may be approved by
				  the Assistant Commissioner if the program is administratively complete as
				  described in §2.6 of this subchapter and meets all the requirements
				  established by rule as determined by the Assistant Commissioner.
(A) If the Assistant Commissioner recommends
				  denial of a program or does not take action to approve the program within six
				  months of Board Staff's determination that the program proposal is
				  administratively complete, then the program approval will be subject to the
				  process for Commissioner Approval.
(B) There are two types of Assistant
				  Commissioner Approval depending on the type of action the institution requests.
(i) Regular Review--A proposed program
				  subject to Assistant Commissioner Approval shall receive regular review unless
				  the institution's request is eligible for Expedited Review.
(ii) Expedited Review--an institution submits
				  for review and approval the information required by rule and obtains approval
				  from Board Staff once staff confirms that the institution's request is
				  administratively complete, and the Assistant Commissioner confirms that the
				  institution's request qualifies for Expedited Review. This type of review is
				  authorized only where expressly indicated in rules under this
				  chapter.

				  institutions noticed under §2.7 of this subchapter;
(4) Whether the program has adequate
				  financing from legislative appropriation, funds allocated by the Board, or

				  Whether the program's cost is reasonable and provides a value to students and

				  availability of other similar programs, and the earnings of students or
				  graduates of similar credential programs in the state to ensure the efficient
				  and effective use of higher education resources;
(6) Whether the program has necessary faculty
				  and other resources including support staff to ensure student
				  success;
