Chapter 4, Section 004.01 of the Rules and Regulations of the Coordinating Commission for
Postsecondary Education requires each public institution to submit to the Commission a list of
instructional programs that are under consideration by the institution and that are in an early stage
of planning. The purpose of early notification is to provide an opportunity for the Commission to
offer comments to the institution regarding potential state level issues for consideration during the
planning of the proposed program.
The list is to include the title and a brief description of each new instructional program. NSCS
institutions are required to submit the list to the Commission in September and March of each year.
The above represents the new program currently under consideration at the State Colleges that
may be brought forward for Board and Coordinating Commission consideration sometime during the
next year.
In addition to the above new programs, the following endorsements, options and minors are under
consideration by the colleges and may be submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval as
required by NSCS Policy 4100. Options and endorsements within majors, and minors where a
major does not exist require Board approval, but do not require approval by the Commission.
Academic program termination and subsequent reinstatement of a program also require Board
approval.
