Indiana University (IU) is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which requires accredited institutions to regularly review programs within the institution and act upon the outcomes of the review. There is no single campus-based system for program reviews; therefore, the Office of Collaborative Academic Programs (OCAP) developed a five-year external review process for online collaborative degree programs, bringing together administrator leadership, teaching faculty, and student support services to evaluate programs with student enrollment over five years. This article discusses a review of the process of developing an external review, a timeline of the main steps in the process, documenting the Office of Online Education (OOE) related resources for online programs, and lessons learned.
