Instructional Program Review

Announcements 2024-25

Last year, the Instructional Program Review and Planning Committee reviewed and revised the comprehensive PRP form. In addition to a new comprehensive form, the program review cycle has been extended to four years. Disciplines will complete a comprehensive review of your program(s) only once every four years, with annual updates in between. Ten disciplines will complete the comprehensive review form this year, with the remainder completing the annual review form.

The following programs will access and complete the Comprehensive PRP form:

    1. Art Design
    2. Real Estate
    3. Fire Academy
    4. HVAC
    5. Library Technology
    6. Chemistry
    7. Engineering

Process

To complete the program review process:

  • Department Chairs will be notified that the Instructional PRP form link is available on the Program Review and Planning webpage.
  • Department Chairs will inform discipline leads where they can access the link.
  • Once the form is complete and submitted, the form will be shared with Deans and VPs for review and feedback. Comprehensive PRPs may also be reviewed by an instructional peer review team.
  • Disciplines will then provide edits to the PRP, as appropriate.

Warning: Forms do not save automatically. Be sure to save the form often. Forms do not allow for simultaneous work from different computers. Coordinate with your discipline colleagues to be sure no more than one computer has the form open at the same time; otherwise, entries to the form will be overridden.
