Steps in the Review Process
The steps in a typical review process can be readily identified, although their implementation can be complex. Those steps might be labeled as follows:
- The decision to conduct the review
- The preliminary preparation for the review
- by the campus
- by the program
- The preparation of the self-study
- The external review and submittal of external review report
- The program’s response to the external review report(s)
- The administration’s and other campus bodies’ discussion of the external review report and the program’s response to that report
- The official campus response to the entire review, with recommendations for action
- The program’s adjustment to the consequences of the review.
This guide will discuss each of these steps in turn, focusing primarily on the preparation of the self-study, the external review, and the program’s response to the external review report(s).
