Policy on Self-Supporting Part-Time Graduate Professional Degree Programs
Dear Colleagues:
Enclosed is the new Policy on Self-Supporting Part-Time Graduate Professional Degree
Programs. The enclosed Policy has incorporated many of the recommendations arising from
an extensive review and comment by campuses and by the Academic Senate. I believe that it
now offers both strong encouragement and firm guidance to campuses that wish to extend their
academic offerings to new groups of students in new ways.
Appended to the new Policy are Implementation Guidelines. The Guidelines have also
benefited from advice from the campuses and Senate. The Executive Budget Committee,
Academic Planning Council, and Council of Vice Chancellors are continuing to discuss issues
related to support permanent ladder faculty FTE positions. However, I believe that these
discussions can continue in tandem with issuance of the Policy and Guidelines.
Please direct any questions that you have about this new policy to Provost Jud King.
Sincerely,
Richard C. Atkinson
President
