Notice of Intent (NOI)
Instructions and Information
The following text is taken directly from the State Board of Education Program Approval page.
Program Approval Procedures
Subsequent to institutional review and consistent with institutional policies, all requests requiring Board or Executive Director approval will be submitted by the institution as a notice of intent (NOI) in a manner prescribed by the Chief Postsecondary Academic Officer.
New and changes to existing instructional programs, instructional units, majors, minors, options, and emphases require approval prior to implementation. The Council on Academic Affairs and Programs (CAAP) may at, it's discretion, request a full proposal (FP) for any request requiring a notice of intent. A request for a new graduate program requires a full proposal. As part of the full proposal process, all doctoral program request(s) will require an external peer review. See Idaho State Board of Education Governing Policies and Procedures Section III.G. Program Approval and Discontinuance for specific policy procedures.
Review Process
Each NOI and FP undergo a review process in which institutions are given approximately 30 days to review prior to the Board office processing further. A flow chart of the program approval and review process may be referenced for specific procedures.
