Administrative Program Review

Overview

The purpose of Administrative Program Review (APR) is to support SHSU administrative departments in the examination of current operations, identification of opportunities for enhancement, implementation of adjustments, and establishment of plans for continuous improvement. Please watch the video below to learn more about the APR experience. (Please note: The APR process moved from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness to the Office of Assessment in September 2021.)

APR Documents

The APR process incorporates three stages: (1) completion of the APR Self-Study by the administrative department; (2) review of the department by members of a peer review committee; and (3) development of an action plan, identifying viable steps for improvement in administrative functions across a multi-year time frame. Sample documents for each of the steps are provided below in PDF format. Our office will provide editable documents to participating departments.
