--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, private to=Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager,Finance & Contracts Manager): I would like to discuss the requirements for academic approval regarding the accelerated hybrid workforce certificate in Medical Billing & Coding. Specifically, I need clarity on the documentation we must prepare, any external timeline constraints we need to be aware of, and the cost structure necessary to ensure sustainability for this program. Additionally, if there are any compliance concerns or commercial constraints with service providers, let's surface those too. Can we start with how we should document the program for approval?
[R0.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, private to=Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates),Finance & Contracts Manager): To document the program for academic approval, we need to ensure that we comply with the state program approval requirements. This means submitting all necessary documentation at least 90 days before the program starts, along with a fee of $2,450. Additionally, we need to be mindful of the accreditation trigger, which requires notice for any program over 24 credits. It's crucial to outline the program structure clearly and ensure that our documentation aligns with both accreditation and compliance standards. Can we also discuss the pricing structure and how it fits into our budget plans?
[R0.3] Finance & Contracts Manager (speak, private to=Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates),Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager): In terms of the pricing structure, we propose a tuition fee of $2,400 per student, which is slightly above the competitor median of $2,150. Additionally, we have a workforce grant of $180,000 available, but we need to ensure we meet the minimum completion requirement of 65% to retain those funds. It would be helpful to understand how this pricing aligns with our budget plans and any compliance concerns we should consider moving forward. Can we discuss how we might address these aspects?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, public): It's great to hear about the documentation requirements and pricing structure. Regarding the tuition fee of $2,400, it seems competitive but we need to ensure it aligns with our enrollment forecast of 90 students in the first year. Considering the employer sponsorship condition, we might also want to discuss how we can encourage student retention to meet the completion goals. Let’s explore strategies that would help us achieve this and maintain compliance with both state and accreditation standards. What are your thoughts on student support mechanisms that could enhance retention?
[R1.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, public): To enhance student retention, we should consider implementing robust support mechanisms such as tutoring services, mentorship programs, and regular feedback sessions. These strategies can help students feel more engaged and supported, which is crucial for meeting the completion goals tied to our workforce grant. Additionally, ensuring that our support services align with compliance and accreditation standards will be vital. What are your thoughts on these approaches?
[R1.3] Finance & Contracts Manager (speak, public): I agree that implementing robust support mechanisms is essential for enhancing student retention and ensuring we meet our completion goals. We should also consider how these initiatives will align with our budget and available resources. Let’s outline a plan to present to the stakeholders that includes these strategies while addressing compliance and accreditation standards. Additionally, we should keep in mind any potential financial implications tied to these support services. Can we discuss the next steps for gathering this information?
