Non-Instructional Planning Cycle

Non-instructional departments and programs participate in a three-year Program Review and Planning cycle that guides managers and staff to reflect on past performance, analyze disaggregated user and service data, and establish goals for the upcoming cycle. The structured process provides a framework for continuous improvement and excellence.

Diagram illustrating a three-year Program Review cycle using interconnected gears. The top gear is labeled “Year 1 Program Review,” followed clockwise by “Year 2 Annual Plan” and “Year 3 Annual Plan.” Arrows show the cycle continuing each year. Year 1 includes assessing previous goals, evaluating the next three-year cycle, and developing new goals. Year 2 and Year 3 focus on assessing goals from the prior year and making adjustments to the plan as needed. A central gear reads “3 Year Program Review Cycle.”

During the first year, each department completes a comprehensive self-study and develops a three-year plan. In years two and three, departments provide annual updates on their progress and any changes to the plan. The Program Review process begins in the spring semester and typically concludes in the fall.
