The goal is for one university system center to provide newand multiple pathways to an academic degree for students and the opportunity to participate inthe development of new technologies that progress from the laboratory to the marketplacethrough collaborative education and research. A previous paper presented the roadmap fromplanning to implementation of the RELLIS Academic Alliance. Presented in this paper are theoperational issues that had to be addressed and the way in which they were addressed. This papercan serve as a model for other institutions that are pursuing a similar endeavor.IntroductionIn September 2015, the
