Non-Academic Program Review Assessment

Non-Academic Program Review (NPR) provides offices, programs, and/or departments an opportunity to systematically assess and reflect upon effectiveness and efficiency in operations. The Program Review process provides information that supports decision-making at the college, leads to improvement of services, and contributes to the Strategic Plan implementation. NPR is completed annually to evaluate operational functions and/or services, to summarize accomplishments, and identify departmental needs. NPR documents include the needs and accomplishments for each non-academic department/program.

Department Directors will oversee the collection of relevant information throughout the academic year. Information includes, but is not limited to, the following items:

• the status of the department/program
• relevant data pertaining to the past year's activities & achievements
• accomplishments that address a Strategic Plan Goal or other concerns
• future department needs, changes, and proposed plans
• resource requests (human resources, equipment, technology, facilities, and supplies) that will help the department/program attain its goals for quality improvement
• professional development accomplishments and/or future needs

Department Directors should refer questions about the process, evidence, or reporting steps to the Assessment Committee. All reports and evidence documents must be completed no later than September 15 each year.
