FY11 Five Year Program Review for Areas with Academic and Occupational Programs

WHY DO A PROGRAM REVIEW?

As a part of accreditation, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) requires institutions to have an established process to regularly review all programs. Each institution is allowed the latitude to develop and administer a review process that is suited to the institution’s unique circumstances and needs.

The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) requires all instructional programs and all student and academic support services to conduct a program review at least once every five years. The program review process should…

·  Examine the need for the program, its quality, and its cost of operation.

·  Involve employees of the unit as well as individuals not employed in the unit.

·  Examine current information and data.

·  Produce results that are considered in campus planning, quality improvements, and budget allocation decisions.

The College’s annual Program Review Report to the ICCB comes directly from the approved program reviews.

The purpose of Sauk’s program review process is to promote continuous improvement and to link those improvements to other internal processes, including curriculum development, assessment, budgeting, facility planning, and to the strategic plan through operational plans. Information provided in program reviews will be used in internal reports, reports to other agencies, and for institutional planning.

The requests will not be forwarded to the budgeting process until the Committee informs the unit that the review has been approved.

·  The approval process:

o  Submission of the review alone does not constitute approval

o  The Program Review Committee may request additional analysis, clarification, or information, and will not approve the review until it is satisfied that its requests have been addressed
