37. Online Activity
• 12,000 full online sections in an
academic year
• Approximately 3,800 General
Education course sections (guaranteed
to transfer)
• Approximately 3,400 course sections
of Foundation Courses in the Major
(guaranteed to transfer)
39. Challenges to Further Growth
• While conceptually any student can take online or
face-to-face courses from other SUNY campuses
while a full time student at their “home” campus,
those courses are not covered by financial aid
unless campuses have a Consortia Agreement
• Campus departments that might want to offer a
specific BA/BS online must convince other
departments on their campus to fulfill degree
requirements
40. A Plan of Action
“In 3 years, we will enroll
100,000 degree-seeking
students in OpenSUNY,
making us the largest, public,
online provider of education
in the nation.”

42. A Vision for OpenSUNY
Open SUNY has the potential to be the preeminent and most extensive online-
learning environment in the nation. It will provide affordable, high quality,
convenient, innovative, and flexible online education opportunities for the
citizens of the State of New York. As a collaborative online educational network,
it will draw on the Power of SUNY to connect students with faculty and peers
from across the state and throughout the world, and link them to the best in
research-based online teaching and learning environments, practices, and
resources. Open SUNY will be dedicated to providing access to online learning
opportunities that connect learner and community needs, and will allow SUNY
to bring this concept to scale like no other college, university, or system in the
United States.
43. A Mission for OpenSUNY
Open SUNY will provide leadership at the system level for the effective planning,
promotion, development, delivery, and support of online courses and programs, by:
• establishing SUNY standards and best practices for online teaching and learning
• using collective resources to pursue inter-campus cooperation wherever
economies of scale apply
• providing scalable, supportable innovative learning environments that engage 21st
century learners
• expanding research and development efforts through a combination of SUNY-wide
initiatives, advisory group efforts, and campus-based research activities
• extending SUNY’s brand both nationally and internationally
