How would you know if a catalog revision is also necessary? I mean how would you calculate the 25%?
Ronald,
The usual measurement to determine if a program revision must be submitted is length of time, such as clock hours or even credit hours. For example, if you revised a 900 hour program to be 1200 hours, that would be more than a 25% change (300 hour increase/900 hour program = 33% change). This would necessitate a revised program application as well as PS-042R revision to catalog. Even revisions that are less than 25% require a catalog revision.
The narrative of the PS-042R is crucial to the TWC personnel reviewing the notification. This is especially true for a larger institution who has multiple additions/deletions/changes comprising the PS-042R. Because you are required to place the old verbiage as welll as the new/proposed verbiage for each modification, PS-042Rs can be very lengthy. The summary then allows TWC to provide a quicker more expedited approval.
The purpose of the form PS-042R is for notification of any changes made to the Catalog and Catalog Supplement.

Audrey ,
In addition to the PS-042R form, the school is expected to provide a narrative explanation of all changes. Any changes to your catalog, supplement, or addendum ( such as periodic staff changes, tuition, calendar, etc.) result in the need to send in the form, explanation, and attachments to the CSC.

The purpose of the ps-042R is to notify any changes to TWC.
Leigh,
That is correct- any changes include programs, catalogs, enrollment agreements and more. The consequences for failure to submit notification can be severe. See the PS-042R form for details.

We use form PS-042R to make the TWC aware of changes to existing courses/seminars, whether we ar adding information or deleting informantion.
Johnny,
That is correct. The PS-042 is also used for changes to catalogs (including addenda and supplements) as well as changes to the enrollment agreement.
