1 Texas Woman s University Guidelines for Implementing Distance Education Degrees 1 The offering of entire programs via distance technologies involves rigorous approvals both on and off campus. Individuals interested in developing such initiatives should contact the Office of Distance Education at the initial stage of the planning process for assistance in developing the proposed initiative and in preparing the necessary reports. Proposals must be developed for all DE initiatives regard of whether the degree is already part of the University s approved inventory courses/degrees for face-to-face delivery. The completed proposal must be sent for approval through appropriate departmental administrative channels (usually program director, chair, and dean) then forwarded to the Office of Distance Education, who will serve as the clearinghouse for the remainder of the process. The Office of Distance Education is available for consultation and support at any point during this process. The proposal will be forwarded by the Office of Distance Education to the following individuals/units (as appropriate) for feedback: Distance Education Advisory Committee (DEAC) Graduate Dean (on behalf of Graduate Council if applicable) Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Studies (on behalf of Undergraduate Council if applicable and TWU Curriculum Committee) Blagg-Huey Library Technology and Information Services After the initial reviews, the proposal and recommendations will be submitted to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs for approval prior to submission to the TWU Board of Regents and others. The academic unit is responsible for ensuring that all faculty members involved in approved initiatives complete recommended training and are prepared to teach online before courses can be offered. The Office of Distance Education and other TWU units can provide professional development and training to support these efforts. 1 A program is considered to be offered as Distance Education if a student may complete a substantial majority of the courses via instructional technologies.
