In order to ensure that the academic programs and services offered by the college continue to be of the highest possible quality, the President shall ensure that all academic programs and services will engage in a formal process of review designed to assess and enhance program effectiveness.

The review process will be outcomes-based, data-driven, and implemented by the program itself. It will involve identification of quality indicators appropriate to the program, measurable baselines, and measurable progress toward improvement as needed. Reviews will occur on an ongoing, cyclical basis. The program review will evaluate:

• whether educational or service objectives are consistent with the college's mission or purpose
• the achievement of students in relation to the intended educational outcomes identified
• the extent to which the college regularly uses the results of program or service review for improvement of its programs and services.
