Subsection Content

If an academic program is closed prior to enrolled students completing, the vice president for instruction or her/his designee will create and communicate a teach-out plan to ensure that students currently enrolled in a program are able to complete the program or change their educational goals in pursuit of another program.  
If the college is unable to provide a teach-out for remaining students, the college can contract with another educational entity to ensure student program completion.  A written agreement is required if the teach-out is provided by another institution or entity.
