New instructional programs are recommended by NACC faculty and division directors to the Curriculum Committee and to administration using the Application for Addition of a Program to the Curriculum form. If approved, the College will submit an application to ACCS, who submits the program application to ACHE for approval. New instructional programs must meet all deadlines established by the Board and Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE). Approval by the Board does not guarantee approval by accrediting bodies (Board Policy 702.01, June 2017).
