NEW:

The Program Plan/ Program Review Implementation Team presented their recommendations for a new program plan/ program review process at two open forums on Thursday, April 9th and Tuesday, April 14th. The task force co-chairs explained the proposed process and solicited comments and suggestions that might help to further inform the process before a final recommendation is made to the College Planning Committee.

In addition, a recording of the April 9th presentation is available on DVD from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.

  • provides transparency throughout the process, including appropriate open access to finalized unit plans throughout the college
  • clearly maps out the flow of information (i.e., input, decision-reaching, approvals, feedback)

• Develop a calendar to assure that program planning and review deadlines align with college hiring, budgeting and accreditation cycles

• Develop and monitor the progress of software development in accordance with the recommended timeline for implementation
