COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM/DEGREE POLICY page 148 The Kansas Board of Regents encourages and supports system-wide cooperative and collaborative efforts among postsecondary institutions within the State of Kansas and between Kansas institutions and out-of-state institutions, including international institutions. a. Defion of collaborative programs/degrees Collaborative programs/degrees are defined as programs/degrees developed and/or approved jointly by more than one institution; students from each participating institution may study parts of the program/degree at the collaborating institutions. In this policy, "program" refers to a formal academic course of study. Although most programs result in a degree or a major within a degree, in some cases, such as teaching endorsements, a program does not result in a major or a degree. b. Requirements for collaborative programs/degrees (1) Effective August 2005, all new collaborative programs must be reported to SCOCAO and SCOP according to the procedures described in Appendix K. The purpose of the report is to

APPENDIX D RESIDENCY RULES AND REGULATIONS Article 3--GUIDELINES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCY FOR FEE PURPOSES Page 88 88-3-1. Student Information. Whenever a question arises concerning a person's residence classification for fee purposes, that person shall be provided with a copy of information substantially as set forth in this regulation, together with K.A.R. 88-3-2 through 88-3-13. "Carefully read the information, statute, and regulations that follow. Then, if you believe you should be eligible for resident classification for fee purposes, complete the attached application for residence classification and submit it to the registrar within 30 days of your notification of classification as a nonresident for fee purposes. When an appeal is made by a student from a determination that the student is a nonresident, the student must pay nonresident fees at the time designated for payment of fees. If the student is found to be a resident, the difference between resident and nonresident fees will be refunded. Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 77-601, et seq. decisions of the residence committee shall not be subject to further administrative review by any officer or committee of the university, or by the state board of regents." Responsibility "The responsibility of enrolling under proper residence classification for fee purposes is placed on the student. If there is any possible question of residence classification under the regulations of the state board of regents, it is the duty of the student when registering and paying fees to raise the question with the registrar. If a student enrolls incorrectly as a resident of Kansas and it is determined at a later date the student was a nonresident for fee purposes, the student shall be required to pay the nonresident fee for all terms during which the student was incorrectly registered." (Authorized by K.S.A. 76-730; implementing K.S.A. 76-729; effective, E-71-35, Aug. 20, 1971; effective Jan. 1, 1972; a

4.20 IRREGULAR CLASS MEETINGS All class meetings should be held during the regular hours scheduled for the course. Unscheduled meetings at other hours should be held only for very unusual and clearly defensible reasons and never for the mere personal convenience of the instructor or the students or both. If it is desirable for sound educational reasons to schedule a departmental or joint quiz at an evening hour so that all sections of a course may write the quiz simultaneously (uniform exams), the date and hour of each such irregularly scheduled quiz should be made known to all the students concerned during the first week of classes. If a student then incurs a serious conflict at one of these hours, the responsibility is the students. If no such notice of irregularly scheduled hours for departmental or joint quizzes can be given, such a plan for giving tests is presumably not important enough to merit systematic planning and should not be used. The University discourages all unscheduled class meetings; individual faculty members and departments regulate their teaching schedules in accordance with this principle. The department that announces the hours at which a course will meet, the faculty member who agrees to teach it at those hours and the student who has agreed to take it at those hours have all assumed an unwritten contractual obligation from which no one of them should deviate without very substantial reasons for doing so.

4.22 WAIVER OF FEES Norman Campus - Faculty Handbook Institutions may establish procedures for waiving of tuition and fees for students who are enrolled in courses offered on a non-standard schedule. (State Regents for Higher Education, 1-30-61, 5-31-97)

Graduate Deans Agreement Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (Great Plains IDEA) Adopted October 30, 2001, Updated March 18, 2003 The Graduate Deans of the Universities that are members of the Great Plains IDEA and that are participating in the Master's and graduate certificate programs offered through the Great Plains IDEA, on behalf of their respective Graduate Faculties, have agreed to the following principles and procedures in order to facilitate the development and delivery of inter-institutional graduate programs through their institutions. Principle 1: The participating Graduate Schools mutually respect the academic standards and quality of the academic departments involved in this joint program, therefore: 1.1 Courses approved for delivery by this program will be considered inter-institutional courses and will be exempt from transfer credit policies. 1.2 Faculty members who provide instruction in this program must carry graduate faculty status at their home institution; however, further documentation or approval will not be required by the other members of the Alliance. 1.3 Students admitted as degree-seeking students in Great Plains IDEA programs will be accepted automatically by all other members of the Alliance for enrollment in courses that are a part of the curricula of Great Plains IDEA programs. Admission to a Great Plains IDEA program will be based on the criteria established at each participating institution and program pre-requisites established for the Alliance Program to which admission is sought. Institutions are encouraged not to require the GRE. 1.4 The number of students that may be admitted to the program by each participating institution will be determined by agreement of the participating institutions. 1.5 The content of the curriculum will be determined by agreement of the participating institutions. Principle 2: The participating Graduate Schools recognize that the implementatio
