Unit Responsibilities

The re-accreditation process requires an evidence-based report demonstrating compliance with the five basic criteria of the Higher Learning Commission.

Each Unit (academic and support) must provide examples under EACH core component for Criterion Three: Student Learning and Effective Teaching.

For Criteria One, Two, Four, and Five each unit must provide an example for ONE core component. Lead with your strengths! Units may, of course, provide an example for more than one core component.

From the above examples we will produce the compliance and special interest self-study report that will demonstrate MSU's capacity to perform as an institution of higher education. As with any good self-study, it will present examples of our capacities and an evaluation of how we are doing.

Examples should include the following: (short concise sentences please)

1. The Goal
2. Activities to reach the goal ( What did you do?)
3. Processes used to assess and evaluate the Activities (How did you assess?)
4. Analysis of the assessment data (What did you find out?)
5. Feed back loop to improve the Activities to reach the goal (What did you change as a result of the assessment?)
6. What happened as a result of the change?
7. How are you continuing to use assessment to improve?

Each example should aim to provide CONNECTIONS to the MSU missions of student learning, research and public service, outreach and engagement. How is what you do (activities) related to MSU's mission and how will you continue to improve what you do?

• EXAMPLES needed from each unit by MAY 30,2005.
• Information should be provided electronically with embedded links to other documents/ web sites.
• Please provide examples of international dimensions as often as possible.
