Curriculum Design and Assessment

In pursuit of high-quality student learning, each Academic Program shall achieve and maintain compliance with the University’s Degree Program Expectations adopted by the Faculty Senate as an essential component of their seven-year Academic Program review or discipline-specific accreditation processes. In furtherance of this goal, all Academic Units conduct regular curriculum design and assessment reporting for each Academic Program offered. The Vice Provost for Teaching, Learning Design, and Assessment and the Office of Curriculum, Learning Design and Academic Assessment coordinate these efforts. With some exceptions, Academic Program annual assessment reports that comply with the template provided for this purpose are generally due within thirty (30) days of the end of each regular academic year’s spring semester. In the alternative, Academic Units engaged in discipline-specific accreditation processes may submit their accreditor annual reports, while Educator Preparation programs accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation may submit their accreditation reports every other year.
