Each stage of the cycle represents an academic year, which is defined as Fall Semester through Spring Semester. Users can use the tracking form found in Appendix B to monitor progress through each five-year cycle.  \nThese guidelines are periodically revised to conform to new policies and procedures regarding academic program planning and assessment. This document was revised substantially in 2010 to meet the expectations of the Higher Learning Commission for a more focused and systematic assessment process, and to reflect the use of TaskStream for managing the assessment data. The Fall 2023 revision included several changes based on reflection about the assessment process in prior years.  \nSince the last revision of these guidelines in Fall 2023, the Taskstream platform has been discontinued and the SPOL platform was acquired for the purpose of building a fresh relational database for assessment and planning. The 2024-2025 academic year and the 2025 fiscal year launched other large-scale transitions:  \n􀁸 After a year of collaboration and discussion between administration and the faculty association, the Academic Affairs Division consolidated three colleges into two colleges and twenty academic departments into nine schools on July 1, 2024.  \n􀁸 The entire Minnesota State system transitioned to Workday for finance and human resources functions on July 5, 2024. The roll out for that System-wide change continues through fiscal year 2025.  \n􀁸 The Academic Affairs Division is preparing for an HLC Interim Report on Core Components 4.A and 4. B, which will be due August 3, 2026.  \nThis Fall 2024 revision of the guidelines includes small adjustments in language and logistics to better help the user navigate the substantial transitions that our institution is currently experiencing. Further revision of this document is anticipated prior to the next academic year.  \nOVERVIEW OF THE FIVE-YEAR CYCLE FOR ACADEMIC PROGRAM PLANNING, ASSESSMENT, AND REVIEW  \nThe five-year academic program planning, assessment, and r","cbCais5bFCadMfAM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais5bFCadMfAM","pdf",3744853,47,"English","# Overview of the Five-Year Cycle\n## Academic Program Reviews at Bemidji State University\n## Purpose & Goals of Assessment, Planning, & Review Process\n## Requirements for Each Year of the Five-Year Cycle\n# Academic Year One\n## The Five-Year Plan\n## Year One Activities\n## Key Resources (University Mission, Vision, Shared Values)\n## Dimensions of Student Learning\n## Measures of Student Learning\n# Academic Years Two, Three, and Four\n# Academic Year Five\n## Year Five Activities\n## Developing a Self-Study\n## Selecting & Scheduling an External Consultant","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the five-year academic program planning, assessment, and review cycle?\",\"answer\":\"It is a continuous, integrated process that links program improvement and change with planning and assessment of student learning.
