Statements
Within the guidelines described below, accessory instruction funds can be used to pay organizations and institutions that provide educational services to Empire State College students.
- Subject to the approval of the vice president for academic affairs, deans and center directors will determine the eligibility of organizations for payment of accessory instruction according to two criteria:
- The organization must be generally recognized within the relevant academic or professional community as offering educational services comparable in level and quality to those offered by institutions eligible for cross-registration.
- The organization must be designed primarily for education and service to students rather than designed primarily for profit.
- Payment can be made only for instructional services provided to students under a learning contract that will specify the amount and kind of credit of college-level learning.
- Since Empire State College does not accredit educational organizations, an organization must accurately describe its relationship to the college.
