If the agreement constitutes a substantive change, the Provost's Office prepares and submits all required notifications and approval requests to SACSCOC or other regulatory bodies like NC-SARA before the agreement is implemented.

After all internal and external reviews are successfully completed, the Provost (or designee) secures signatures from the authorized representatives of all parties.

The originating unit is responsible for forwarding a fully executed copy of the agreement to the Office of the General Counsel and the Office of the Registrar for official record-keeping.

Prior to the agreement's expiration date, the originating unit must evaluate the partnership's outcomes. Based on this evaluation, the unit will submit a formal recommendation to the Office of the Provost to either renew, revise, or terminate the agreement.
