(a)Every five years, following the same timetable
as the regular accreditation reports sent to the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges or its successor, each
public institution of higher education shall review and evaluate its
policies and practices regarding the acceptance and application of
credit earned as part of a Board-approved field of study curriculum,
and reports the results of that evaluation to the Board. The evaluation
should include:
(1)the extent to which the institution's compliance
with the acceptance of transfer credit through field of study curricula
is being achieved;
(2)the extent to which the institution's application
to the appropriate degree program of credit earned as part of a Board-approved
field of study curriculum facilitates academic success;
(3)the effectiveness of field of study curricula in
the retention and graduation of transfer students in those degree
programs that have Board-approved field of study curricula.
(b)(No change.)
(c)Advisory committees will review
existing field of study curricula every five years from their date
of Board approval. Field of study curricula may be reviewed more frequently
if issues warrant, including but not limited to discipline changes
of subject matter content, emerging and/or changing technologies or
business/industry standards, changes in credentialing and/licensure
requirements, or changes in programmatic accreditation.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed
the proposal and found it to be within the state agency's legal authority
to adopt.
