Abstract	As a sequel to a 1971-72 study, this report for 1975-76 provides an updated inventory of the programs and policies of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) universities through which adult part-time students may earn credit and bachelor's or master's degrees, notes significant changes since the first report, and offers suggestions for future development. The eleven midwestern universities that belong to CIC are Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue, and Wisconsin. In the text the following topics are discussed generally while in the appendixes they are summarized separately under each institution: (1) noncredit programs and continuing education units; (2) administrative structure; (3) residency requirements; (4) fee structure; (5) student classifications and degree credit; (6) counseling services; (7) special clientele programs serving prisoners, the elderly, business, labor and engineers, women, the disadvantaged and handicapped, and community college personnel; (8) associate degrees and certificate programs; (9) credit by examination and advanced placement; (10) credit for military service courses, programs given by noncollegiate organizations, or experiential learning; (11) external and non-traditional degree programs; (12) consortium participation; (13) off-campus, extension, Saturday, or evening classes; (14) independent study including correspondence courses; (15) accelerated courses; (16) auto-tutorial or computer-assisted instruction for self-paced programmed learning; and (17) use of media such as radio, television, audio and video cassettes, and electronic blackboard and telephone.
