Changes to an Existing Program or Proposing a New Program

Changes to institutional offerings are subject to what SACSCOC calls a substantive change, meaning a significant departure from what the institution was previously authorized to offer. There are three results associated with program changes based on whether or not the change is a significant departure and what reporting options are required.

Please read this document before your submission to determine what action is needed, if any, for SACSCOC approval.
