Annual Academic Program Planning & Assessment Activities

Academic programs at all levels (i.e., certificate, associate, bachelor’s, master’s) establish a 3-year assessment cycle for their program learning outcomes. Academic programs with specialized accreditation may choose to submit the annual plan and report for the accrediting agency in lieu of the institutional plan and report.

  • By first workday in May: Submit academic program assessment plan for the upcoming academic year.
  • By first workday in October: Submit academic program assessment report for the previous academic year.
