Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) have been signed between the two colleges to offer the programs jointly, sharing faculty and administration. Program reviews have been positive, with several graduates in both programs since the MOA’s have been in place.

The KYVU is a host-provider model designed to broaden program access for postsecondary education at all public colleges and universities in the Commonwealth. Through KYVU, students at the local college (host) may enroll in online courses offered by other colleges (provider). Transcripts for KYVU courses are issued by the host college; the provider college maintains faculty data. Faculty hold, at a minimum, instructor credentials established by SACS-COC [10]. Faculty teaching KYVU courses are evaluated by students in the same manner that students evaluate faculty in traditional classes, using an online Student Evaluation of Instruction survey instrument.
SKCTC also offers courses and programs in partnership with Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and the Kentucky Telecommunications Consortium. The Consortium selects and administers all KET telecourses [11]. Through this consortium, students enroll at SKCTC, view the course via KET (either live, via videotape, or via web streaming if a course has an associated CMS), and use an assigned text and assignments provided through the telecourse. The student and instructor from SKCTC communicate in person, via telephone, e-mail, USPS, or through a CMS (if a course is web-enhanced). Instructors often require students to attend some on-campus sessions for each course as well. KET courses are transcripted by the delivering college. Faculty hold, at minimum, instructor credentials established by SACS-COC; usually, full-time faculty are the instructors for the courses. Faculty teaching KET courses are evaluated by students in the same manner that students evaluate faculty in traditional classes.
Comprehensive requirements apply to agreements for
instructional services through contracts with external entities.
Consistent with KCTCS Administrative Policy 4.15, Enrollment of High School and
Adult Education Students [2],

In the case of high school faculty teaching SKCTC credit courses, the faculty members meet with college faculty to ensure the use of collegiate level standards and are provided a common course syllabus. Students in these courses are held to the same standards as students enrolled in the college’s on-campus degree programs. Faculty hold, at a minimum, instructor credentials established by SACS-COC. Faculty members are evaluated using the same Student Evaluation of Instruction survey as is used for on-campus faculty [13]. Representatives from the college are assigned to each secondary school and visit each classroom at least twice per semester. The high school principal also provides a written evaluation attesting to the quality being adhered to in the program. Explore College personnel are involved in the Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning model for continuous program quality and improvement.
