Effective January 13, 2015:
- (1) A school that is authorized to grant a degree may also grant certificates in the same field without an independent review of the certificate, provided that the certificate is granted for completion of a specified set of courses approved in a degree curriculum as part of degree authorization.
- (2) A school that is authorized to grant a degree and wants to offer a certificate in a field in which the school is not authorized to grant a degree must apply for approval for the certificate. The process will be shorter and less elaborate than for a degree authorization.
- (3) An education provider that does not have the legal authority to offer degrees anywhere and wants to offer college-level courses for credit without applying for authority to issue degrees may apply for approval to do so under the same standards as a degree applicant. Any such approval is limited to three years unless the provider establishes a transfer agreement with at least one accredited school.
