Overview

Before starting this form visit the Columbia College Program Planning and Evaluation website to check the Review Cycle to see if you should be completing this form or the Annual Program Update form and look at previous reviews and updates in the archive. 

The purpose of Comprehensive Program Planning and Evaluation process is to identify what your program is doing well and what your program could improve. The process documents program goals, objectives, and improvements, creates an opportunity to request resources, and serves as an organizational tool for the work required by programs (curriculum, student learning outcomes, etc.).

This process includes two roles: Submitters and Reviewers. Submitters respond to the questions while reviewers respond to the responses. You are expected to collaborate with others who may provide valuable insight about your program. For example, administration, part-time faculty, counselors, students, faculty in other disciplines, classified professionals, and community partners. For Comprehensive Program Planning and Evaluation, you are expected to meet with your dean or vice president as part of the review.
