MOU Process for offering existing OSU approved programs
at OSU-Cascades
Each OSU department is responsible for the quality and health of its
programs that are offered at OSU-Cascades. In order to make an existing
degree or certificate program available at OSU Cascades, a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) is required.
- A Proposal Guide outlines the information
required to create an MOU. Approval by the department’s Corvallis unit
head and Dean and the Cascades-based Program Leader, Dean and CEO is
indicated on the MOU signature page.
The proposal should be developed with the faculty of both campuses serving
an advisory role.
- A library resource review must be attached to the MOU. Contact Maureen
Kelly, the OSU Librarian at OSU-Cascades.
- The MOU proposal should be submitted to the Office of Academic Programs
and Academic Assessment for review and coordination through the curricular
review process. Please contact Gina
Shellhammer at 7-8246.
- It the proposal is a graduate program, the proposal will be fowarded
to the Graduate Council and the Dean of the Graduate School for approval.
- All MOU’s require approval by the Curriculum Council.
The review is to ensure:
- Strength, viability, consistency of assessment, and quality;
- Adequacy of resources;
- Consistency with OSU policies and procedures.
The Office of Academic Programs and Academic Assessment supports curricular
proposal processes. Feel free to contact us at 737-8246 if you need help
during the proposal process.
