All Academic and non-academic units, including departments, colleges, and divisions are required to submit an IE report.
Although writing the report can be time-consuming, it’s a valuable opportunity to review accomplishments, enumerate our goals, and refocus our attention on the University’s mission. Additionally, working on the report provides time for thoughtful consideration of resources and the articulation of an effective course of action to continue accomplishing our goals.
The Council for Assessment and Planning (CAP) appreciates the time spent on writing the Institutional Effectiveness reports and most of all the guidance you provide to shape the future of your unit or academic department.
Chaired by: Appointed by the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs
Membership: Faculty or full- or part-time administrators with faculty status, selected and appointed by the Provost. The Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Assessment Coordinator will serve as ex-officio.
Function: The central role of the Council for Assessment and Planning (CAP) is to monitor the assessment activities of the university as described in the Institutional Effectiveness Plan (IEP).
