  • S16-17, University Policy, Academic Certificate Programs: Review and Approval Process
    SAN JOSÉ STATE UNIVERSITY ONE WASHINGTON SQUARE SAN JOSÉ, CA 95192 S16-17, University Policy, Academic Certificate Programs: Review and Approval Process Legislative History: Rescinds S12-5, S13-10 At its meeting of May 9, 2016, the Academic Senate approved the following policy recommendation presented by Senator Mathur for the Curriculum and Research Committee. University Policies S12-5 and S13-10 provide the review and approval process for the current certificate process at SJSU. However, problems have arisen with undergraduate and graduate admissions, the use of Open University within certificates, and the review process timeline of certificate proposals within committees. Therefore, this policy replaces S12-5 and S13-10 and requires that all certificate programs at SJSU be reviewed and approved under the new process outlined in the attached guidelines, and that all existing certificate programs that predate the adoption of this policy also be reviewed and approved under these guidelines within two years. Approved and signed by Interim President Susan W. Martin on May 17, 2016 University Policy Academic Certificate Programs: Review and Approval Process Rationale: Executive Order #806 from the Chancellor’s office provided a framework for offering certificate programs and encouraged the development of such programs. The existing certificate policies, S12-5--Policy Recommendation, Review and Approval Process for Academic Certificate Programs and S13-10--Policy Recommendation, Modify the Review and Approval Process for Academic Certificates, provide the review and approval process for the current certificate process at SJSU (including earning certificates through Open University). As described in Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 40400 provides that the Board of Trustees, upon recommendation of the faculty of a campus, shall issue a certificate to a student who 1 has completed the prescribed course of study.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • B4yp4x45teiszd55aks53n3wuae Diploma Equivalency Eq.Pdf
    The Certificate Equivalency Department (CED) aims at verifying the authenticity of the qualifications issued by the higher education institutions outside the UAE and coming to the UAE. It also seeks to ensure that these qualifications satisfy the academic criteria applicable in the country and assess them against the UAE academic standards as well as the qualifications issued by the approved higher education private institutes inside the UAE, with the purpose of upgrading the outputs of higher education. The human element is critical in community progress and is considered as its sustainable capital. Hence, developed countries are distinguished with dedicating the biggest portion of their income toward education and scientific researchers. They encourage and send students to learn in other countries in order to acquire distinctive education and qualifications which are not available inside the country, and to be familiar with cultures and civilizations of other societies. The CED has been initiated by the Ministry in order to identify the internationally recognized higher education institutions in world countries. It is also intended to verify the validity and authenticity of documents incoming to the UAE, and to academically evaluate those qualifications. CED is the officially and legally authorized body to handle different academic qualifications issued from various countries. It represents the gate through which all academic qualifications enter the UAE. CED assumes an extremely significant role as it gives students relevant information about institutes they plan to join in terms of recognition, the specializations they offer and the academic system applied for achieving equalization of the degree or certificate. All this information is readied by CED before the students do actually approach those institutes.

The proposal was received by the Graduate School on February 11th, 2020. It was reviewed by GS/CAA on February 13th, 2020. No revisions were requested, and the proposal was recommended for approval by the Graduate Council. The proposal was approved by the Graduate Council on March 13th, 2020. College of Arts and Sciences Offices of the Associate and Assistant Deans 114 University Hall 230 North Oval Mall Columbus, OH 43210 614-292-1667 Phone asc.osu.edu October 10, 2019 I am pleased to offer the College of Arts and Sciences’ support for the proposed stand-alone graduate certificate in “Advanced Chemistry Knowledge for Educators.” This proposed certificate will become part of a larger ASC initiative (supported by OAA) to provide College Credit Plus authorization programs in several fields for qualified high school teachers. We are particularly pleased that CBC has developed this as an online program, which will undoubtedly enhance its reach and sustainability. We hope the other existing CC+ teacher programs (in English, Math, and Physics) will follow this example and develop online versions of their programs as well. In addition to CBC’s efforts, ASC is working with ESCCO (Educational Service Center of Central Ohio) and Columbus State Community College to facilitate teacher access to our programs.

  • Manufacturing Foundations 1B Embedded Certificate Proposal – Addendum: Exception Request to the Maximum Credit Overlap Between Certificate & Degree Program
    Manufacturing Foundations 1b Embedded Certificate Proposal – Addendum: Exception Request to the maximum credit overlap between certificate & degree program The Manufacturing Foundations Certificate merits an exception to the 1b Embedded Certificates stipulation that a degree program may have a “maximum of 50% overlap of the credits required for the academic certificate.” The maximum limit was meant to keep certificates meaningful by making sure that embedded certificates were not created merely to “pad” majors with superfluous certificates that duplicate learning goals and outcomes of already existing degree programs. The Manufacturing Foundations Certificate, by contrast, carries significance beyond the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) degree because the Manufacturing Foundation Certificate is recognized by the State of Ohio as having broad applicability to manufacturers. This certificate carries industry-wide meaning for manufacturers. And students earning this industry-recognized certificate while pursuing the Engineering Technology degree will have a better chance of securing strong internship opportunities, and eventually, rewarding careers in manufacturing. The Manufacturing Foundations Certificate was developed by a statewide task force composed of representatives from the Ohio Engineering Technology Educators Association, Ohio TechNet, and the manufacturing industry. It was approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) for the purposes of demonstrating that certificate earners are “work-ready”
