2. ACCJC Guide to Evaluating and Improving Institutions
What criteria and processes does the college use to determine its priorities and set minimum expectations (institution-set standards) for student achievement, including required expectations of performance for course completion, job placement rates, and licensure examination passage rates? (Federal Regulation)
To what extent does the college achieve its standards? (Federal Regulation)
How does the college use accreditation annual report data to assess performance against the institution-set standards?
If an institution does not meet its own standards, what plans are developed and implemented to enable it to reach these standards? (Federal Regulation)

3. Course Completion Rate (14b. 12a.)

4. Methods for Setting and Using the Standards
Reasonable
Appropriate
Realistic

5. Proposed Method for Setting the Standards
Review most current and historical performance (multi-year/longitudinal data disaggregated by ethnicity and other demographic characteristics as appropriate)
Generate multi-year averages for performance (5-8 years)
Determine performance indicators based on data analysis, institutional history and context (standards)

6. Proposed Method for Using the Standards
Proposed Method for Using the Standards
Develop a performance range and/or color coding (Trapp, 2013):
Range
=>5% Above Target-Excellent
+ or – 5% On Target-Good
=<5% Below Target-Needs Attention

7. Dissect new standard that requires Institutional-Set Standards
Proposed Steps for Reviewing/Revising and Updating Institutional-Set Standards
Dissect new standard that requires Institutional-Set Standards
Identify required areas
Determine appropriate metrics
Update/align with ACCJC definitions
Collect and analyze data
Update/reset minimum standards
Propose recommendations and bring to Senior Management for discussion
Follow participatory governance structure
Publish and disseminate (e.g., post online, e-news, etc.)

8. Need a process to set Stretch Goals
Manual for Institutional Self-Evaluation
