Dear Provost Cartwright:
| write in response to your correspondence of January 31, 2017, requesting registration of an
Advanced Certificate (ADV CRT) program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, in distance
education format, to be offered by the State University of New York at Albany.
| am pleased to inform you that, based on our review, the program detailed on the attached listing
from the Inventory of Registered Programs is registered for teacher education purposes under Subchapter A
of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education (Chapter || of Title 8 of the Official Compilation of
Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York) until September 1, 2018. After that date,
registration will be extended annually until the Department's next review is conducted.
Please note that the attached Inventory listing records this advanced certificate program as ineligible
for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Aid for Part-time Study (APTS). Programs of less than one
academic year's duration (fewer than 24 semester hours) are ineligible for these State student financial aid
programs. The program is eligible for Vietnam Veterans Tuition Awards (VVTA).
New registration is required for any existing curriculum in which major changes are made that affect
its title, focus, design, requirements for completion, or mode of delivery. Therefore, | ask that you contact
this office prior to initiating a significant change in this program.
We wish you and your colleagues success with the program.
Sincerely,
h Ne
