Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) Approval of the Board of Control
1) Applications for new units of instruction,
research and public service will be reviewed by the appropriate board of
control. Upon approval by the appropriate board of control, the institution
shall submit to the Board a completed notice of intent on the form provided by
the Board. The notice of intent shall include the degree and program name,
region located, description of the program, demographics of the intended
students, estimated enrollment and contact person. The notice of intent may be
submitted prior to or simultaneously with the request for approval. Notices of
Intent shall be publicly posted by the Board for no less than 30 days prior to
any Board action on the application.
2) The institution requesting permission to
offer new units of instruction, research or public service will complete the
application as provided by the Board and submit the completed form to the
Board.
3) If the appropriate board
of control determines that the proposed unit is a reasonable and moderate
extension rather than a new unit, the institution will so inform the Board. If
the Board does not concur in this determination, the institution shall submit
an application requesting approval of the new unit of instruction, research or
public service to the Board.
4)
Community colleges may be deemed compliant with subsections (a)(1), (2) and (3)
by participating in a comparable approval process required by the Illinois
Community College Board.
b) Approval by the Illinois Board of Higher Education
Upon determining that the Criteria for Approval are met, the Board will approve the establishment of the new unit of instruction, research or public service, and will so inform the appropriate board of control by letter from its executive director. This letter shall constitute formal authority to establish the new unit of instruction, research or public service.
