Expectations of Accreditation Bodies Regarding Outcomes Assessment Annual Reporting – All academic and administrative units on campus are expected to maintain an assessment plan which articulates its intended student learning outcomes or administrative outcomes as appropriate. The plan must contain the mission of the program or unit, intended outcomes, methods to be used to measure the extent to which the outcomes are met, and an appropriate schedule for conducting the assessments. Each academic year, the unit is responsible for submitting to its Dean or Vice Chancellor’s office a report describing the assessments conducted, a summary of the results, and how the results have been used to improve student learning or administrative expectations.
Timeline The Assessment Policy Advisory Committee has recommended to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost that all units submit their annual assessment reports to the dean or vice chancellor in the fall of each year, with the exact due date to be determined by the senior administrator. The school or vice chancellor's area will then submit to the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment a brief summary report of assessment activities, including the separate reports from all individual units, in the early spring. Specific due dates will be announced on a year-to-year basis and have not yet been established for the 2007-08 academic year.
Assessment Policy Advisory Committee This committee, made up of representatives from all academic units and the Division of Student Affairs, advises the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost concerning policies and procedures for the outcomes assessment process at UNC-Chapel Hill.
