Program Review
Comprehensive program reviews serve many purposes. Ideally, they allow the Division to improve programs and services, identify strengths as well as growth opportunities, and evaluate whether or not the needs of the student population are being met. In addition, program reviews provide a tool for long-term planning, and budgetary priorities and monitor whether or not the department is supporting the mission and goals of the University and the Student Affairs Division.
The Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS)
The Division of Student Affairs at UNCG has adopted the CAS standards as the framework upon which our internal program review processes are based. The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) develops and promulgates standards that enhance the quality of a student’s total learning experience in higher education. CAS is a consortium of associations in higher education whose representatives achieve consensus on the nature and application of standards that guide the work of practitioners. CAS derives its authority from the prestige and traditional influence of its member associations and from the consensus of those members in establishing requirements for high-quality practice.
