    • Provide up-to-date assessment planning/reporting guidelines, forms, submission processes, timelines, and the process for dropping programs or changing program names.
    • Discuss annual program audit to identify program director, number of students, accuracy of CIP codes, accurate program list and accuracy of information
    • Assess inactive programs (informed by query of students); evaluate the need to drop programs that don’t anticipate future students; promote awareness of add/drop programs and the Substantive Change process.
  • Evaluate peer reviews and approve Student Learning Outcomes to assess feasibility and consistency with University-wide evaluation.
  • Review annual assessment plans to assist with improving reporting content, including requests to add programs, in advance of review by University and Graduate Councils.
