NEW York education department is expected to make a decision over the licensing of degree students at a Scots university campus in the city in two months.
Glasgow Caledonian University is still to welcome any degree students to the campus nearly three years after the US facility was opened.
The Wooster Street campus was officially unveiled by former First Minister Alex Salmond in April 2014, but the project has not yet gained an educational licence from New York authorities.
In a letter to staff, Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies said: "We continue to work with the New York State Education Department who have now asked us to address a small number of mainly administrative matters relating to our application.
"An update to Court, which met this afternoon, indicated that a decision on GCUNY will be taken at a meeting of the Board of Regents of the New York State Education Department in April."
She told staff: "We will contact you about the decision as soon as we hear.
"This news provides some welcome clarity regarding an important aspect of the university’s internationalisation strategy, to make GCU’s excellent standard of higher education accessible to a greater number of international students."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
