| TX | Adopted 11/2009 | Postsec. | Encourages institutions of higher education to develop undergraduate certificate programs of less than degree length, to be awarded upon completion of the institution's higher education coordinating board (HECB)-approved core curriculum, a HECB-approved field of study curriculum or a HECB-approved statewide articulated transfer curriculum.
The note in the Texas Register clarifies, "The new academic certificate would allow students to receive an academic credential signifying the completion of a significant component of an associate's or bachelor's
degree; would provide assurance of that completion to a receiving institution in the case of a student transferring to another institution; and would provide for the reporting of certificates as success measures for colleges and universities." The Register also notes that the assistant commissioner for academic affairs and research "has ... determined that for each year of the first five years the new section is in effect, the proposed change would benefit students by providing them with a pre-degree-completion credential demonstrating a certain level of academic attainment, and to institutions by providing a success measure."

| IL | Adopted 01/2009 | Postsec. | Provides exemptions from program approval requirements. Requires any institution offering online instruction where the core academic support services, including admission, evaluation, assessment, registration, financial aid, academic scheduling, and faculty hiring and support, are located in Illinois, to be approved by the state board of higher education.
Adds that as part of the criteria for postsecondary program approval, the institution must be prepared to provide students with (1) a statement regarding the transferability of college credits, including the fact that the decision to accept transfer credits is currently made by receiving institutions; (2) a statement as to how the institution will advise students on the nature of the transfer process, including the importance of consulting with institutions to which the student may seek to transfer; (3) evidence of articulation arrangements with institutional counterparts, when these arrangements exist; and (4) a statement of the institution's most recent graduation rates as provided by the institution to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).

Provides the plan should include the name of the accrediting organization, the basic outline of the accreditation process, and the projected time line for obtaining affiliate status within five years after the date of state higher education board approval, unless the higher education board waives the original time line because it is found to be an unrealistic expectation.
Creates new provision that initial authorization to operate in Illinois for institutions new to the state is for five years. In the fifth year of operation, requires the executive director of the board to direct staff to conduct a review. Provides circumstances under which the board may deny a continuation of the initial approval or offer a limited extension.
Adds a requirement that, prior to submission of the request for approval of a new degree program, the institution seeking approval complete a notice of intent that includes the degree and program name, description of the program, demographics of the intended students and estimated enrollment.
Adds provisions allowing an institution to temporarily suspend a program after receiving state higher education board approval.
