How does an institution gain approval for a distance education or off-campus degree program?
Associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s programs must already be offered at the institution. If the program is already being offered at the institution, the institution should notify the Coordinating Board via email. Institutions must also notify the appropriate institutions as outlined above. If a program is not already being offered at the institution, the program must also go through the standard program approval process. Doctoral programs must already be offered at the institution. (If not, a preliminary authority and/or degree program proposal must be submitted and a site visit will be required.) The proposed program should be in good standing with all appropriate review and accreditation organizations, have sufficient numbers of students in any on-campus program to permit its successful continuation, and must have the approval of the appropriate institutional and system administrative channels. If the proposal meets the above criteria, an institution should submit a Distance Doctora
