Subject:  Continuing Education Units, Seminars, Workshops, Short Courses


            I. Procedure for Establishing Courses

     The form "Request to Establish a Seminar, Workshop or Other Short Course" (copy
     attached) must be completed by the person responsible for or sponsoring the course and
     submitted for approval to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.  If approved by the
     Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, it is then submitted for approval to the Vice
     Chancellor for Financial Affairs.  Once approved, the form will be distributed according to
     the directions shown at the bottom of the form.  Blank forms are available in the office of
     Special Academic Programs.

           II. Development of Budget

     Fee approval authority is vested with the Vice Chancellor for Financial Affairs.  Space is
     provided on the form to list anticipated course expenses.  Any and all anticipated expenses
     should be considered and listed in this space.  All courses of this nature must be conducted
     on a self-supporting basis.  Fees will be based upon anticipated expenses. 

     The fee for participants requesting continuing education units is $10 which is submitted to
     Special Academic Programs along with the set fee for the course.

     Fee payments may be made in person or by mail to the Office of Special Academic
     Programs.  Each student will be issued or mailed a receipt.  No student will be allowed in
     a class until full payment has been received.

          III. Other Financial Details

     No credit will be extended to participants in these courses.  Full payment must be made at
     the time of course registration.

     Fees collected will be credited to the Special Academic Programs general revenue
     account.  All related expenditures will be charged to the appropriate activity line items and
     must have the approval of the Director, Special Academic Programs.  



     Participants will not be counted in head count or FTE reports to General Administration
     or to Raleigh.

     Required or recommended text materials will be purchased through the UNCA Bookstore. 
     These expenses should be considered in establishing the fee.  Book order forms are
     available from the manager of the Bookstore and Special Academic Programs will make
     the necessary arrangements for book ordering directly with the manager of the Bookstore.

           IV. Miscellaneous

     If continuing education units are to be given for the course, it is necessary to have a
     "Participant Registration Form" completed by each participant requesting the continuing
     education units.  These forms are available in the Special Academic Programs office.

     The instructor, upon completion of the course, must sign and indicate grades (S-
     Satisfactory, U-Unsatisfactory) on the term report for each student requesting continuing
     education units.  The yellow copies of the term report and the participant registration form
     will be submitted to the Registrar's office.  The original copies of the forms will remain in
     the office of Special Academic Programs.  

     Students satisfactorily completing the course will be issued a continuing education unit
     certificate signed by the instructor and Director of Special Academic Programs.
