Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Division:

State Board of Education

Chapter:

COMMUNITY COLLEGES

Overview

RULE:

6A-14.095

Site Determined Baccalaureate Access

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to update components of the Florida College System (FCS) baccalaureate approval and accountability processes. The effect is incorporating revised requirements and forms for the notice of intent, program proposal and annual accountability report.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rulemaking is intended to increase the rigor and transparency of the FCS baccalaureate approval process. Section 1007.33, F. S., outlines the requirements for FCS institutions to seek State Board of Education approval to offer new baccalaureate programs, and this rule further defines the approval process. Proposed revisions include the incorporation of a new notice of intent form, as well as new forms and procedures to replace the program proposal and annual accountability report forms currently incorporated in the rule. The revised language also removes the requirement that FCS institutions submit an application for State Board of Education approval to add or modify concentrations related to a previously approved baccalaureate program.
