TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION, RELATING TO LICENSING CRITERIA, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 3129, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Commission on Higher Education, relating to Licensing Criteria, designated as Regulation Document Number 3129, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
The Commission on Higher Education is the licensing authority for nonpublic (private) institutions operating or soliciting in the State. From time to time issues concerning licensing standards come to the attention of the Commission. The regulations require as a prerequisite to licensing that out-of-state degree-granting institutions have recognized accreditation.
62-6.A. The proposed change requires that in-state degree-granting institutions also obtain accreditation and that in-state non-degree-granting institutions have accreditation before they apply for degree-granting authority.
