The changing economic and educational landscape demands that institutions adapt. Often that means new programs, new degree levels, new off-campus sites and delivery modes, even mergers of institutions. Before those plans can be implemented, however, your institution may need to successfully navigate the Substantive Change approval process. Learn the basics of the process, find out about recent changes, and get an introduction to the recently revised Substantive Change Manual, so that this step can be incorporated into your planning, resource allocation, and timing and your plans can move forward without delay.
