Dear Dr. Cartwright:
On behalf of the faculty at the University at Albany, I am pleased to transmit the attached
two proposals for program registration update. As indicated, we seek to have our existing
Ph.D, and C.A.8 programs in Reading changed, in title only, to become titled Literacy.
These proposals have been fully considered and approved through our school and campus
governance bodies. We are appreciative for anticipated efforts by staff in your Office of
Program Review for the consideration of the proposal, Should there be any technical
questions or the need for additional materials, please have inquiries directed to Jonathan
Bartow, Vice Dean for Graduate Education (jbartow@uamail.albany,.edu) at our campus,
As always, we thank you for your on-going support.
James R. Stellar
Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost

[ ] Cumulative change from SED’s last approval of the registered program of one-third or more of the minimum credits

{ ] Changes in a program’s focus or design
[ ] Adding or eliminating one or more options, concentrations or tracks
[ ] Adding or eliminating a requirement for program completion (such as an internship, clinical placement, cooperative
education, or other work or field-based experience)
[ ] Altering the liberal arts and science content in a way that changes the degree classification of an undergraduate
program, as defined in Section 3.47(c)(1-4) of Regents Rules
b) Provide a side-by-side comparison of all the courses in the existing and proposed revised program that clearly indicates
all new or significantly revised courses, and other changes.

Table provide the name, qualifications, and relevant experience of the faculty teaching each new or significantly revised

credit is college level and of the appropriate rigor. Syllabi generally include a course description, prerequisites and
corequisites, the number of lecture and/or other contact hours per week, credits allocated (consistent with SUNY
policy on credit/contact hours), general course requirements, and expected student learning outcomes.
ce) What are the additional costs of the change, ifany? If there are no anticipated costs, explain why.
[ Section 2.2. ‘Other Changes Erb
Check all that apply. Describe each proposed change and why it is proposed.
[X ]Program title: Change from Reading to Literacy
Rationale: In the last few decades, the field has shifted from a focus on reading to a much broader view
of literacy, with a more encompassing definition of what children and young adults need to know and
do. These literacies include areas such as reading, writing, viewing, speaking, listening, and
representing, all situated in new technologies and social contexts. While any one component of literacy
is certainly important, as a whole, the term literacy better captures the broad view. The proposed name
change will better represent our current practices, in addition to allowing us to be more competitive and
current with our colleagues across the country.
Program award
Mode of delivery
NOTES: (1) ifthe change in delivery enables students to complete 50% of more of the program via distance
education, submit a Distance Education Format Proposal as part of this proposal. (2} If the change involves

may register the version as a separate program.
[ ] Format change(s) (e.g., from full-time to part-time), based on SED definitions, for the entire program
1) State proposed format(s) and consider the consequences for financial aid
2
2) Describe availability of courses and any change in faculty, resources, or support services.
[ ] Achange in the total number of credits in a certificate or advanced certificate program
[ ] Any change to a registered licensure-qualifying program, or the addition of licensure qualification to an existing
program. Exception; Small changes in the required number of credits in a licensure-qualifying program that do not
involve a course or courses that satisfy one of the required content areas in the profession.
