Program Requests
Submit a Program Approval Request
Requests for new programs, program modifications, and program discontinuances are initiated through standardized online forms. These forms ensure that all proposals enter the alignment process with the necessary information for review.
To begin, select the appropriate request type from the following list and complete the corresponding form:
Each form collects key details required for evaluation, including program rationale, workforce alignment, and supporting documentation.
Once submitted, forms are automatically routed to the proper party for initial coordination and processing. From there, proposals move into the formal alignment process outlined above.
Submitting a complete and accurate form helps ensure timely review and supports a smooth progression through each stage of evaluation.
While institutions are required to align with Board-approved foundational courses, they may add supplemental courses to better meet the unique needs of their service area, students, and local workforce.
To request a supplemental course addition or change, complete the Supplemental Course Change Form. The form captures the necessary details to ensure consistency across systems.
Once submitted, requests are routed for review and processing. Updates will be entered into Northstar and will automatically flow to the shared drive and alignment website, ensuring all materials remain current and aligned.
