PLAN OF ACTION IF PROGRAM MUST BE TERMINATED
Summary of train-out alternatives for students (Limit 200 words)
As mandated by the State Board of Education, Miami Dade College will demonstrate diligence to individual needs in the event of program termination and will enact an approved degree completion plan to enable eligible students to complete the appropriate BS-IST degree program coursework following the termination decision. The BS-IST program will accept no new students and will provide transition services, including a transition educational plan outlining coursework and program options for completion and will ensure that the program will remain open and provide “teach-out” options to allow eligible students to complete graduation requirements within two academic years. In addition to these options, the MDC School of Engineering + Technology will work closely with other upper-division, higher education providers to transition students seamlessly to similar programs. The plan will be comprised of courses based on an individual student review, with extensive and personalized transfer and advising assistance. Using the MDC student/staff email service and direct mailings, individuals will be contacted and offered assistance with the termination process options.
MDC will maintain BS-IST degree student transcripts in accordance with MDC policies and procedures and will maintain and archive the BS-IST degree course descriptions and representative course syllabi. Every effort to serve the interests of affected students will be observed in the event of program termination. Miami Dade College will adhere to the stipulations as mandated by the State Board of Education regarding its monitoring of the program implementation through annual reviews. All educational programs at MDC are reviewed on a five-year cycle (Appendix O, pg. 89) and follow established operational procedures for college-wide evaluation.
