This guideline focuses on modifying the instructional program review process to ensure more meaningful evaluation findings, improved relevancy, and enhanced program effectiveness through comprehensive planning and assessment. The modifications aim to streamline the process, align program review with planning modules, and provide expanded support for ongoing assessment. Recommendations include moving to a non-staggered cycle for all complete comprehensive program reviews in the same year. Pros and cons are discussed with options to either maintain the current status quo or adopt a re-envisioned approach.
