UPLOADING YOUR PROGRAM’S FILES TO THE NEW NASP APPROVAL WEBSITE
HOSTED ON THE RCAMPUS WEBSITE
NASP has engaged the services of Rcampus to help facilitate the online submission of program
documents for review. Rcampus is a web-based platform that helps universities streamline the
collection and evaluation of materials submitted by programs, faculty and students. NASP will
utilize the structured matrix tool within RCampus to collect submissions by programs and to
document the evaluation and review results by our reviewers and board."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I have already created a file for a standard that includes a narrative response for all
components of a standard (e.g., Standard 1.1 through 1.10). Do I need to break this up
into separate documents for each component (e.g., 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.) or can I keep the
original file intact?
a. You may keep the original file as is, and in this example maintain the title of the
document as Attachment D Response to NASP Standard 1. You would then select
this document for EACH cell within that standard (i.e., 1.1 – 1.10), along with any
other supporting evidence.
2. What if I uploaded a document but then decide I need to update it. How do I change a
document that I uploaded with a revised document?
a. You can change documents. Go to your Documents tab (see #3 above). Find the file,
and click on the small downward facing arrow to the left of the file name. Delete the
file you want to replace. Then upload the new document using the procedures for
uploading files/documents above.
3. Can I still change documents in the Document Center if any of the cells are locked?
a. No, a submitted document will be locked and cannot be changed.
4. Can I change the “selected” documents for each cell?
a. Yes you can change the “selected” documents at any point prior to submitting your
cell for evaluation. After the cell is locked you cannot make any changes. To unlock a
cell contact nasppab@nmsu.edu.
5. What titles should I use to save my documents?
a. Make sure to use the titles that we have suggested. A list of the titles is available on
the document “Instructions OnlineSubmissionsNASP OnlyPrograms”.
