Debra Austin, Chancellor
SUBJECT:
Academic Program Review Policy Directive
The attached policy directive establishes the State University System process for academic
program review. This directive is in response to changes in the governance structure of the SUS,
and is aligned with current priorities in accountability and accreditation.
This policy directive is the third in what will be a series of “Policy Directives,” which will be
issued as the need for guidelines and procedures arises. The first two were on new degree
authorization procedures and institutes and centers. Policy directives will be available on the
Florida Department of Education, Division of Colleges and Universities, Web site:
http://www.fldcu.org/chn/.
Thank you for your assistance as we make this important transition. Please contact Steve Hicken
(Stephen.Hicken@fldoe.org) in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs if you have any
questions about the academic program review process.
