Regulatory Compliance

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.

Execution

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

Record-Keeping

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.

Assessment and Renewal

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.
