Procedures for New Courses/Programs
- To initiate the establishment of the CCHS Program, the school district administration should contact the CCHSP Coordinator at SUNY Orange. The CCHSP Coordinator will meet with representatives at the high school to discuss CCHSP and possible college courses to be taught.
- Each CCHSP course taught must be an existing SUNY Orange course listed in the College Catalog and is subject to approval from the appropriate SUNY Orange academic department chair.
- There are two options for selecting faculty to teach a CCHSP course. The high school administration may request that 1) members of its faculty be considered for the position of SUNY Orange CCHSP instructor, or 2) a SUNY Orange instructor teach at the high school. In either case, the selection and on-going assessment of the teacher are the responsibility of the appropriate SUNY Orange academic department chair.
- If a member of the high school faculty is to be considered for the position of SUNY Orange CCHSP instructor, the faculty member's qualifications will be reviewed by the appropriate SUNY Orange department chair to determine if he/she meets the departmental criteria for SUNY Orange adjunct faculty instructors. Qualifications generally include a master's degree in the academic subject.
- The candidate shall submit to the CCHSP Coordinator a cover letter, resume, copies of college transcripts, completed job application and letters of recommendation from his/her department chair and high school administrator.
- The candidate will meet with the appropriate SUNY Orange department chair or his/her designee for an interview.
- Upon departmental approval, the department chair will recommend the candidate to the appropriate Associate Vice President for final approval of appointment.
- Once courses have been selected and instructors approved, the school district will announce to its students that through CCHSP an opportunity exists for them to earn college credits in the high school.
