IAR's support for Academic Program Review:
- The summer prior to a program's self-study, Academic Affairs informs IAR which programs will undergo review.
- IAR provides program review data to the Program Coordinator, Department Chair, and Dean, and schedules a Program Review Workshop.
- The Academic Affairs Program Review Manual identifies the data IAR provides.
- Data are provided in late August, and the Program Review Workshop is scheduled for early in the fall term.
Refer to Interpreting Your Program Review Data when working with these data.
IAR is available throughout the process to assist in interpreting the data provided.
