The Fact Sheet captures important information about the new program. It serves as a guide for our content writers developing the program page for prospective students to view and provides information for our ASUO knowledge base that is leveraged in conversations with prospective students. 

The unit completes this on its own and directs any questions to their APM. 

The Discovery Meeting serves as a live opportunity to go through the Fact Sheet and ensure all necessary information is captured for the next steps of the program launch. The APM will have reviewed the Fact Sheet prior to the meeting and will come with clarifying questions to be addressed. 

This meeting is facilitated by the APM and attended by relevant academic unit faculty and staff. After the meeting, the APM will implement edits to the Fact Sheet and finalize it.

Using the Fact Sheet, the EdPlus content writers will draft the program page for the new program. This page lives on the ASU Online website and tells prospective students about the program, courses, admissions requirements, and career outlook. 

Once complete, the APM will provide the drafted program page for academic unit approval. The same unit stakeholders who attended the Discovery Meeting will have the opportunity to provide feedback and ensure the program page information is accurate.

The unit is provided with a blank course document that needs to be filled out with all the program’s courses. 

There will be a Course Development Meeting attended by the academic unit, and EdPlus staff (including the project manager and instructional designer). This meeting is the chance to review and finalize the course list and learn more about the EdPlus instructional design and compensation process. 

An Enrollment Training meeting may be scheduled with the academic unit and EdPlus student-facing teams to ensure EdPlus has all the information needed to answer prospective student questions. 

Once all meetings have occurred and documents have been reviewed and approved, the project manager will submit the final approval form. This triggers the Registrar to turn the program on in Degree Search. 

With everything else completed and the program active in Degree Search, the ASU Online program page will go live and the Request for Information (RFI) form will be available for prospective students.
