all official correspondence must be sent from the President to the Chancellor, including

programmatic requests (new programs, deletions, modifications, EM delivery, etc.)
policy exceptions
the Chancellor routes institutional submissions to appropriate staff for processing
ADVANCE NOTICE
we always appreciate a heads-up when you have large projects in development - we like to know what’s coming down the pike –
however, since the Chancellor sends correspondence where it needs to go, there is no need to copy us on your correspondence

Internal deadline – November 15*
To help with planning …
NEXT 3 STATE REGENTS MEETINGS
fall 2004 dates, the spring 2005 dates aren’t available yet
INTERNAL DEADLINES
these are the dates by which we need institutional submissions to get on the next SR meeting agenda
generally, we need requests about a month in advance of an SR meeting date
this allows time for staff to process requests, obtain any additional information needed, and make the mail-out to the Regents
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
we understand that sometimes, there are circumstances requiring last minute additions to the agenda
we are sensitive to that and will be responsive as we can
however, circumventing this schedule will be an exception to the rule
* Internal deadlines have not been finalized

13. Complete College America
A Plan for Increasing Postsecondary Credentials to Fuel a Strong Economy
1 FOCUS ON READINESS
Higher education and K-12 will work together to develop and implement a strategy that seeks to identify students not on target to be college-ready by graduation and targets activities in the 11th and 12th grades to reduce remediation demands in the transition from high school to college.
2 TRANSFORM REMEDIATION
Every Oklahoma institution will implement transformational models of remedial placement and support through a statewide phased implementation and refinement process.
3 BUILD BRIDGES TO
CERTIFICATES & DEGREES
Develop and implement a "Program Equivalent Project" that bridges Career Tech credit hour completion to certificate and A.A.S. degree completion in the community colleges.
4 REACH HIGHER FOR ADULT
COMPLETION
Further expand and develop Reach Higher as a degree and certificate completion effort that involves the entire system of postsecondary education.
5 TRACK & REWARD
PROGRESS & COMPLETION
Reform Oklahoma’s successful Brain Gain Performance Funding Program to provide metrics and accountability for measuring state and campus progress toward completion goals.
