* SACS Substantive Change C, Procedure 2, states that SACS must receive official notification at least 6 months in advance when “50% or more of a degree program or an entire degree program” will be delivered by any combination of the various “distance-learning/technology-based” instruction methods.  This is true both for new and existing degree programs.
