Guidelines for Application for Temporary Approval
Temporary Approval Criteria: Programs are
eligible for temporary approval as follows:
a. Associate of Applied Science Degree
Programs. A college may request temporary approval for a one- to three-year
period for the following types of AAS degree programs:
- Experimental programs designed to prepare
students for emerging occupations. An emerging occupation may be either (1)
a new occupation that has been recognized by a professional organization
(e.g., speech- language pathology assistants), or (2) an occupation for
which new licensure/certification requirements have been developed (e.g.,
massage therapists), or (3) an occupation that has evolved within a broad
occupational field and for which specific labor market information is not
available (e.g., webmasters).
- Programs that would meet immediate and
temporary needs in the community (e.g., provide students an opportunity to
earn an associate’s degree in an occupational area identified by an employer
for a single cohort of employees.)
b. Certificate Programs. A college may
request temporary approval for any certificate program.
Application: Colleges can apply for
temporary approval of a new unit of instruction by completing a Form 20T. Please
see the following page for Form 20T and instructions.
