Section 9A:1-6.5 - Noncollegiate organizations

(a) Off-campus sites at which an institution offers college credit-bearing courses in conjunction with or under contract with a noncollegiate organization shall first be approved by the institution's governing board or its designee. The institution shall adhere to the following standards:

1. The college may grant credit only at the level and only in those areas for which it has degree programs. For example, a college may not award graduate credit if it does not award graduate degrees, nor may it offer graduate courses in a field (for example, psychology) if such offerings are not acceptable in an authorized graduate degree program at that college;

2. The credentials of instructors used by the contracting agency shall be reviewed and approved by the appropriate faculty of the college;

3. The courses shall be clearly and publicly identified as belonging to the college; that is, both parties shall take appropriate steps to ensure that the public understands that the college assumes responsibility for the courses; and

4. No more than 25 percent of an academic degree program shall be satisfied through such courses, except in the case of arrangements between colleges and hospital-based programs in the health professions in which the clinical component of the program is provided by the hospital school. All course requirements, with respect to student attendance, amount of class time, amount of outside work, standards for performance, and prerequisites, shall be the same as for courses offered on campus.
