                                                    Public Information





                    1.1    The sponsoring institution and program provide students, faculty, and the

                           public with policies, procedures, and relevant information.  Policies and
                           procedures must be fair, equitably applied, and readily available.


                    Explanation:
                    Institutional and program policies and procedures must be fair, equitably applied, and promote
                    professionalism.  Policies, procedures, and relevant information must be current, accurate, published, and
                    made readily available to students, faculty, staff, and the public on the institution’s or program’s website to
                    assure transparency and accountability of the educational program.  For example, requiring the public to
                    contact the institution or program to request program information is not fully transparent.  Policy changes
                    must be made known to students, faculty, and the public in a timely fashion.  It is recommended that revision
                    dates be identified on program publications.

                    At a minimum, the sponsoring institution and/or program must publish policies, procedures, and/or relevant
                    information related to the following:

                       •  Admission and transfer of credit policies
                       •  Tuition, fees, and refunds
                       •  Graduation requirements
                       •  Grading system

                       •  Program mission statement, goals, and student learning outcomes
                       •  Accreditation status
                       •  Articulation agreement(s)
                       •  Academic calendar
                       •  Clinical obligations
                       •  Grievance policy and/or procedures


                    Any policy changes to the above must be made known to students, faculty, and the public in a timely fashion.

                    In addition, programs must develop a contingency plan that addresses any type of catastrophic event that
                    could affect student learning and program operations.  Although the contingency plan does not need to be
                    made readily available to the public, program faculty must be made aware of the contingency plan.


                    Required Program Response:

                           •  Describe how institutional and program policies, procedures, and relevant information
                               are made known to students, faculty, staff, and the public.
                           •  Describe how policies and procedures are fair, equitably applied, and promote
                               professionalism.
                           •  Describe the nature of any formal grievance(s) and/or complaints(s) and their resolution.
                           •  Provide publications that include the aforementioned policies, procedures, and relevant
                               information, including the hyperlink for each.
                           •  Provide a copy of the resolution of any formal grievance(s).
