Program Types

1. Multi-Institution Programs – A multi-institution program involves resource sharing among multiple institu- tions or organizations. Multi-institution programs are defined as collaborative, joint, or other multi-insti- tution All participating institutions and organizations share responsibility for some aspects of the program’s delivery and quality. The appropriate faculty and staff of each participating institution will agree on the home institution for enrollment, degree conferral, financial aid, program delivery, the allocation of equipment and facilities, provision of student services, assessment criteria, and the general management of the program. A copy of the program agreement will be submitted to the Council on Postsecondary Education by each institution’s chief academic officer prior to recognition of the arrangement on the Council’s Registry of Degree Programs.
2. Collaborative Programs – An academic program under the sponsorship of more than one institution or organization and contains elements of resource sharing agreed upon by the partners. None of the partic- ipating institutions delivers the entire program alone, and the partnering institutions/organizations share responsibility for the program’s delivery and The credential awarded may indicate the collaborative nature of the program.
   • If only one institution (primary) offers the degree or credential but other institutions or organi- zations (secondary) provide some resources, the program at the secondary institution(s) should submit data in the “enrollment-only” reporting category for the Comprehensive Database.
   • If the degree or credential is offered by all institutions participating in the resource-sharing ar- rangement but only one institution is listed on a graduate’s diploma, each participating institution should submit data in an enrollment and degree-granting category for the Comprehensive Data-
3. Joint Programs – An academic program sponsored by two or more institutions leading to a single credential or degree, which is conferred by all participating institutions. None of the participating institutions deliv- ers the entire program alone, and all participating institutions and organizations share responsibility for all aspects of the program’s delivery and quality.
   • Each participating institution should submit data in both an enrollment and degree-granting cate- gory for the Comprehensive Database.
4. Other Multi-Institutional Arrangements – Multiple-institution program offerings - such as two-plus-two arrangements - not covered by the collaborative, and joint program definitions will be identified as appro- priate on the Council’s Registry of Degree Programs based on institutional agreements.
