Decision Criteria
Any mode requires PMAC, OL-Leadership, Senate, and PCOL approval (development normally only begins once the proposal has passed as far as EPC – and never without OL-Leadership approval). Under exceptional circumstance PMAC may be bypassed.
Developing an additional mode
- Online to Independent Study – Requires PMAC only
- Independent Study to Online – Requires PMAC and OL-Leadership
Closures
- Close a method of delivery (meaning another method is available; print, web, dynamic web, online) – Requires PMAC and the Vice-Provost’s approval.
- Closing a course (all methods of delivery) - Requires Senate and PCOL.
Adding a method of delivery within independent study (print, standard-web, and dynamic web)
- Adding Dynamic Web requires OL-Leadership approval .
- Adding Print requires Director of Curriculum Development approval (would rarely occur).
- Adding Standard Web requires Director of Curriculum Development approval.
