Current through September 17, 2024
Section 281-10-007 - Off-Campus Instructional and Facility Arrangements Requiring Prior Commission Approval

Prior approval of the Commission shall be required in the following situations:

007.01 Establishing a branch campus.
007.02 Establishing an off-campus center within 30 miles, by the most direct route on a hard-surfaced roadway, of a principal campus of another public institution on which are offered courses or degree programs comparable in content and intended student outcomes to those offered at the off-campus center.

Prior to Commission review and approval of an off-campus center pursuant to this subsection, representatives of the public institution establishing such off-campus center shall notify, and are encouraged to meet and consult with, representatives of public institutions maintaining a principal campus within the distance parameter specified in this section to discuss coordination of program offerings. A representative of the institution planning to establish the off-campus center may make a written report to the Commission of the results of such consultation. The Commission may also initiate and facilitate meetings of representatives of public institutions impacted by a proposed off-campus center and may expedite its review for approval of the off-campus center if issues of unnecessary duplication have been addressed.

The provisions of this subsection shall also apply when a public institution plans to offer one or more complete degree programs at a cooperating institution located within 30 miles, by the most direct route on a hard-surfaced roadway, of a principal campus of another public institution on which are offered courses or degree programs comparable in content and intended student outcomes to those offered at the off-campus center.

007.03 Participating in a cooperative education center.
007.04 Making a commitment to facilities for longer than one year at a cooperating institution, an off-campus center, or off-campus site.
