Program Official Documentation
Programs are reminded that documentation submitted in support of program official
appointments must be current. Documentation such as resumes/CVs and certification or
registrations should be current as of the time of submission. Please note that the approval
process may be delayed if documentation is not current.
Objective 6.4
Objective 6.4 of the Standards states the following: Analysis of student learning outcome data
allows the program to determine if it is meeting its mission, goals, and student learning
outcomes. Faculty should assure all data have been analyzed and discussed prior to sharing
results with an assessment committee or other communities of interest. Sharing the student
learning data results must take place in a timely manner.
The Objective goes on to describe the analysis process for both met and unmet benchmarks.
The data analysis process must, at a minimum, include: student learning outcome data that is
compared to expected achievement; and documentation of discussion(s) of data analysis
including trending/comparing of results over time to maintain and improve student learning.
If the program does meet its benchmark for a specific student learning outcome, the program
should identify how student learning was maintained or improved and describe how students
achieved program-level student learning outcomes.
If the program does not meet its benchmark for a specific student learning outcome, the
program must implement an action plan that identifies the issue/problem, allows for data
trending, and identifies areas for improvement. The action plan must be reassessed annually
4 until the performance concern(s) is/are appropriately addressed.
