Planning & Self- Study

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness has moved to a new reporting system, Planning & Self-Study. Open labs will be offered to ensure assessment leads are well prepared for reporting. If you would like to schedule a 1:1 consultation, please contact Rachel May directly for scheduling. 

Planning & Self-Study - Open Labs 

Open labs will be held for Planning & Self-Study, a new reporting system for degree and stand-alone certificate program assessment and integrative learning core course assessment. Users of the system may arrive at any time during the 2-hour time-frame. The open labs will follow an open-ended format and will focus on addressing participants’ questions as they enter their assessment reports. Each participant must bring their own computer and any supporting materials needed.
