- Faculty members propose course sharing and departments/ academic units make agreements across the University
- Agreements are made between academic departments, with the consent of the department chair from each campus
- Depending on University policy, online courses may need to meet online delivery certification approval by the primary (host/teaching) University in order to be scheduled as an online course
- Course may be courses that two or more Universities teach, courses that only one University teaches, or new courses
- Courses may be shared across different disciplines/departments
- If there is not a "parallel" department, chairpersons contact the chair of the departments that most closely aligned and through which the course would be offered
- An example would be a University that does not have Journalism may contact the English or Communication departments
- These courses could then be offered and recorded as a Topics course
- Students do not initiate request for courses to be offered, generally. However -
- If they had a course that they wish to be considered for a course sharing agreement, students are directed to the chair of the academic department on their home University.
- If the secondary (home) University wanted to initiate a new agreement, it would have then worked with a potential primary (host/teaching) University.
