Online Program Approval
The Online Program Approval process applies to all programs (both new and existing) that will be offered more than 50% online. The Provost approves online UNT programs. This process is detailed in UNT Policy 06.030 Review and Approval of Online Courses and Programs.
Online courses for both new and existing programs may be developed while program approval is in process, and you are encouraged to work with CLEAR as early as possible to ensure that your courses are ready for delivery upon program approval.
Online Program Approval Process
Prepare a program proposal in consultation with CLEAR staff, your department chair, and your dean. For a comprehensive guide to the approval process for new and revised online programs, ensuring you meet all regulatory and accreditation standards, visit the New Program Planning and Substantive Change page. Send your completed proposal to UNT's SACSCOC Institutional Accreditation Liaison, Elizabeth Vogt.
