Annual Academic Program Planning & Assessment Activities

Academic programs at all levels (i.e., certificate, associate, bachelor’s, master’s) implement a three-year assessment cycle to evaluate student learning. Academic programs with specialized accreditation may opt to submit their annual plan and report for the accrediting agency rather than the institutional plan and report.

Timeline:

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

Annual Administrative Unit Planning & Assessment Activities

Administrative units within the Academic Affairs Division set three goals with objectives annually. Where appropriate, administrative units may be combined for assessment planning and reporting purposes.

Timeline:

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