Assessment Policy
The Wilkes University Assessment Committee (UAC) will guide each new administrative unit to set measurable goals (objectives) to assess unit performance. The UAC will also encourage these units to assess those goals, and to use the assessment findings to improve the operation and performance of their units.
New units will submit an initial assessment plan with their objectives for review by the University Assessment Committee. The University Assessment Committee may provide feedback on the proposed assessment plan. Once the initial assessment plan and objectives are agreed upon, units will be required to demonstrate regular, systematic review and revision of their objectives and associated assessment plans before entering the University Academic Program Review Cycle after two full years of operation.
Administrative directors will revise, delete or add a unit's objectives as appropriate to ensure they remain dynamic, relevant, and measurable.
