Closing the Loop

Provost's APR meeting

At the close of the APR process, a meeting is scheduled with the Provost to develop a final implementation plan. Participants include the department chair, program coordinator and/or faculty (as determined by the department chair or dean), dean, and the AVP (Academic Affairs). Following this meeting, the department chair/program coordinator completes the final implementation plan and submits it to the college dean. The dean submits an electronic copy to the AVP (Academic Affairs) within two weeks following the Provost’s meeting. Following receipt of the final implementation plan, the Provost issues a letter indicating the final determination for program continuance (posted below).

The Provost’s memo then triggers the close of the APR cycle for the submitting program. The Office of Assessment archives the materials via the Accountability Management System a new seven-year cycle begins based on the submitted Implementation Plan.
