Chapter 10.02 - - Academic Administrative Organization
P10.02.010. Academic Organizational Structure.
The university academic administration is organized into the three major administrative units: the University of ɫƵ Anchorage (UAA); the University of ɫƵ Fairbanks (UAF); and the University of ɫƵ Southeast (UAS). Each MAU will have the primary responsibility for ensuring that the educational needs of its assigned service area are met, utilizing not only its own educational resources but also those available throughout the university. As provided by the following policies, the academic administration of the university may be further structured into community colleges and academic units.
(12-08-05)
P10.02.020. Scope and Responsibility of the Academic Administration.
- As the executive officer of the board and the chief executive officer of the university, the president will be responsible for the efficient and effective operation and management of its educational programs. The president will recommend the structure of the academic administration to be established by the board. The president will approve the appointment of the academic officers and faculty of the university unless such responsibility is delegated elsewhere in Regents’ Policy or in University Regulation.
- As chief executive officer of an MAU, the chancellor will appoint a chief academic officer for the MAU, following consultation with the president and the board in accordance with the bylaws of the board on university personnel. This officer will be responsible for supervision and implementation of the academic programs of the MAUs.
- The MAU chief academic officers will also be responsible for advising the chancellors and the chief academic officer on the needs and condition of the academic programs of the MAUs as well as the need for the addition or deletion of programs in an MAU service area.
(12-08-05)
P10.02.040. Academic Unit Establishment, Major Revision, and Elimination.
- Academic units are created within the university for the purposes of instruction, research, advanced study, outreach, or economic development. All such units, at any level of the university structure, must provide for the effective management and productivity of their activities. Degree and Certificate programs approved by the board or president in accordance with P10.04.020 may be offered only within accredited units.
- ɫƵ, schools, colleges, and designated research institutes and academic units with systemwide responsibilities may not be created or eliminated without board approval. Academic units at lower levels, if they employ or are intended to employ tenured or tenure track faculty, or if they deliver or are intended to deliver certificate or degree programs, may be created or eliminated by the president at the request of a chancellor with notification to the board, or at the discretion of the president, by the board. The president will determine when a revision to an academic unit is sufficiently major to require approval by the board. Elimination or major revision of a unit at any level, if the unit employs tenured or tenure track faculty or delivers degree or certificate programs, will require a program review as specified in P10.06.010 and University Regulation
- Faculty from more than one MAU may be affiliated with a unit, following agreement between the appropriate chancellors and the president as appropriate, as to the type of affiliation, accreditation requirements, and other contractual obligations.
- Approval of the board is required to create units as specified in this section and to eliminate or significantly modify the following university units:

P10.02.050. Community Campus Role and Mission
UA’s community campuses are integrated into their respective university’s mission by providing open admission access to postsecondary education—both academic and workforce development—that aligns closely with secondary-level educational standards, career pathways, and local, regional, and statewide needs. Community campuses help prepare students for entry into higher education by delivering developmental/preparatory programs, dual credit, and TechPrep opportunities for local high school students. It is essential that the mission and functions of these campuses align fully with the mission, core themes, and accreditation standards of their respective university. Campus academic program and course offerings will be prioritized to meet local and regional workforce and continuing education needs, and may include more specialized programs serving broader regional and/or statewide needs as resources allow. Cross-campus programs and course offerings will be aligned within each university and, when offered on a statewide basis, be coordinated across universities to expand opportunities for students, achieve efficiencies, and avoid unnecessary redundancy in accordance with P10.04.010 − Academic Program Integration.
A process for the approval to offer upper division or graduate course by a community campus will be established at each university.
(12-12-14)
P10.02.060. Community College Establishment and Elimination
- Community colleges may be created or eliminated on approval by the president and board. A community college will report through the president to the board and comply with Regents’ Policy and University Regulation. A community college may be administratively aligned with an MAU and will comply with that MAUs applicable rules and procedures. The president in consultation with the board will appoint and evaluate a campus president for the community college and determine the administrative structure within which the campus president reports. When administratively aligned with an MAU, the president in consultation with the chancellor will ensure that the community college faculty and staff are involved in the development of MAU rules and procedures that apply to or affect the community college.
- Community colleges may be formed from pre-existing extended colleges or campuses.
(06-06-14)
P10.02.070. Accreditation.
- The University of ɫƵ Anchorage, the University of ɫƵ Fairbanks, the University of ɫƵ Southeast will each, based on its own merits and the quality of its programs, seek and maintain accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Chancellors are responsible and accountable for instituting a robust process for maintaining accreditation at their university.
- Individual program accreditation by professional accrediting bodies should be sought when meeting such accreditation standards is consistent with the goals of the university.
- Annually, the president, in coordination with the chancellor of each university, shall
provide a written report to the Board of Regents' Academic and Student Affairs Committee
on the status of institutional and specialized accreditation. As necessary, the president
will brief the board on emerging issues of concern regarding accreditation status.
- The report must summarize the university’s status within the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities 7-year review cycle including progress made in addressing any recommendations from the commission.
- For each program with specialized accreditation, the report must provide the following information: the college or campus in which the program is housed; the specialized accrediting body; the date of initial accreditation, when available; the date of the most recent reaffirmation of accreditation; the next review date, if permissible by the accrediting body; and the current accreditation status, including commendations and recommendations, if permissible by the accrediting body. It must also describe the efforts the university has made to address any outstanding recommendations.
- The president shall adopt university regulations consistent with this policy.

R10.02.050. Community ɫƵ
- Community campuses will cooperate and collaborate with the broader accredited university
of which they are part. Moreover, community campuses like their respective universities
are expected to collaborate across the UA system in support of effective and efficient
development and delivery of academic courses and programs. Each community campus will
contribute to the integrated instructional program of its respective university through
practices such as:
- Course and program offerings at the community campuses will be subject to established university-wide approval processes and are subject to periodic review by the chief academic officer of the accredited university. Community campuses may, based on local, regional, and statewide student demand, deliver developmental and preparatory studies, workforce credentials, occupational endorsements, certificate and associate level courses and programs, credit or noncredit cultural enrichment and continuing education courses. Where specific demand exists and where approved through the accredited university’s process, specified programs to include baccalaureate and graduate programs may be offered in cooperation and alignment with other schools and campuses within the broader university and UA system.
- Under the direction of the chancellor or designee, the administrative and academic leadership of the community campus is the responsibility of the campus dean or director, working in consultation with appropriate academic deans and directors. Faculty qualifications at community campuses will be authorized through a process approved by the chief academic officer of the accredited university.
(04-13-15)
R10.02.060. Community College Establishment and Elimination.
An extended college or campus may be considered for community college status after a minimum of three years operation if growth projections are sufficient to warrant community college status. Factors to be considered in proposals for the formation of a new community college or its continuation will include the following:
- Academic and Non-Degree Programs:
- a community college will be expected, at a minimum, to provide an academic transfer program, a career and vocational program, remedial and developmental education, a student services program, and a program of community services and continuing education;
- a community college will develop its own academic programs and career education in accordance with Regents’ Policy and University Regulation; board approved programs will be at the certificate and associate degree level, and coordinated where appropriate with the programs of the sponsoring university; coordination is also expected with the sponsoring university to facilitate the offering of baccalaureate and master's programs in the community college service area; and
- the establishment or continuation of the college will contribute meaningfully to promotion of student success, improve and extend university services in meeting community and regional needs, and enhance overall integration and costeffectiveness of delivering university services in the community and region.
- Service Area and Student Base: a community college will establish a service area supportive of a minimum student full-time equivalent (FTE) base of 300.
- Staffing: all community colleges, regardless of enrollment, will have basic start-up and continuing staff.
- Agreement with Local Qualified School Districts or Political Subdivisions: a community college will be established, operated, and maintained under a cooperative agreement with local qualified school districts or political subdivisions, in accordance with AS 14.40.560-14.40.640 (the Community College Act) and any other applicable requirements established by board. This agreement will include an acceptable costsharing plan for defraying the ongoing operational costs of the community college. At a minimum, however, the local community's ongoing contribution must be one-third of the total operating budget, and cover the direct instructional and administrative costs for nondegree college programs and activities.
