Standard IV. Students

IV.6 The school applies the results of evaluation of student achievement to program development. Procedures are established for systematic evaluation of the degree to which a program's academic and administrative policies and activities regarding students are accomplishing its objectives. Within applicable institutional policies, faculty, students, staff, and others are involved in the evaluation process.

The School operates in a culture of assessment – of students, faculty and programs. The University has several evaluation mechanisms including student evaluation of teaching. The School utilizes grade review; Learning Outcomes Assessment; and statistical reports on time-to-degree, enrollment, retention; Peer Review of Teaching; and annual faculty reviews to ensure that program deliverables – courses and courses of study – are meeting the needs of the students and professions. Student and faculty participation in faculty meetings and SIS Council meetings permits their viewpoints to be considered in all forms of School policy, procedure, and planning.
