Common use of INSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATIONS Clause in Contracts

INSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATIONS. 1. Oregon public universities and community colleges, under advisement from OTAC and HECC, will build an alert mechanism into their curriculum review process for changes related to courses, programs, or admission that may impact the MTM. • The institution proposing a change in required or pre-requisite courses, with potential to impact lower-division course taking will alert their Registrar and Major Transfer Map group to review the change. • If the proposed change creates a need to modify lower-division course taking as defined in the existing MTM, the OTAC representative from the particular MTM group will bring the issue to OTAC for review to determine if updates need to be made to the agreement. • All public higher education institutions who are signatories of the agreement are expected to stay in alignment with the approved MTM. Changes to courses included in the MTM that will affect their transferability must be approved by the MTM group and OTAC before taking effect. • MTM groups are expected to meet annually or as needed to ensure continued alignment and the effective dates will be reflected in each MTM. Catalog rights follow the MTM. • If valid reasons exist that prevent sufficient alignment, a given institution may have to exit the agreement. In such cases, the Xxxxxxx of the university must notify OTAC and work out an effective timeline for leaving the agreement such that the university honors the catalog year guarantees and provides a workable teach-out plan so students in the pipeline are held harmless.
