If a program has disciplinary accreditation, this typically includes a disciplinary accreditation program assessment, or DAPA , process. These reports can be accepted in lieu of any IIT-mandated reports, so long at the disciplinary program assessment meets minimum standards wth regard to HLC program assessment.  For the full text of Illinois Tech's DAPA policy, see here.  

Courses at Illinois Tech, especially distance learning courses must provide regular and substantive interaction between the lead instructor and students that is predictable, scheduled, and commensurate with class size. This ensures that faculty expertise is used to guide pedagogical development of students.  For the full text of the Illinois Tech RSI policy (and corresponding federal regulations) see here.
