CIHS Info for Applicants

Applications are submitted to and reviewed by the Joint Advisory Committee (JAC) consisting of representatives from the NC DPI, the NC Community College System, UNC Governors Association and the NC Independent Universities and Colleges. The JAC will recommend qualified submissions to the State Board of Education and the local institution of higher education governing board for approval.
