Steps in the Review Process

Go to previous page

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).
