As in above, a cogent argument will be needed to justify a request for “a” additional space requiring additional financial resources. Written support from the responsible administrator will strengthen this request. Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU library system. Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these additional resources. Indicate additional academic technology, equipment, or specialized materials that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the first two years after initiation. Indicate the source of funds and priority to secure these resource needs. Self-Support Programs Confirm that the proposed program will not be offered at places or times likely to supplant or limit existing state-support programs. In order to meet this requirement, self-support programs are generally offered in the evenings or on weekends. They can also be offered at off-site facilities with approvals from the appropriate off-site administrator. Explain how state-support funding is either unavailable or inappropriate. Simply stating state-support funds are not available is not sufficient. Compelling evidence, such as a statement from the responsible administrator or other forms of documentation), is needed. An example of inappropriate use of state general fund appropriations would include courses or programs delivered primarily out of state. Explain how the program is different, in one or more of the following ways, from state-supported campus offerings operating on campus: Primarily designed for career enrichment or retraining Program location is significantly removed from state-supported campus facilities The program client group receives educational or other services at a cost beyond what could be reasonably provided under state support. For self-support programs, please provide information on the per-unit cost to students and the total cost to complete the program (in addition to the required cost recovery budget elements listed in the checklist found earlier in this document).
