Guiding Principles
- UT Tyler is committed to self-assessment and to external reviews as an integral part of strategic planning, institutional effectiveness and to ensure continuing quality enhancement toward fulfillment of the UT Tyler mission.
- Participation in the review process emphasizes self-assessment and demonstrates a concern about quality, an ability to be self-critical and a willingness to act upon identified concerns.
- External reviewers are selected with particular reference to their records of experience and thoughts relative to broad issues of higher education within their respective disciplines. The external review is considered to be an appropriate assessment effort in the systematic evaluation of performance and accountability.
The external review process includes:
- Completion of a comprehensive self-study.
- A pre-visit review of the self-study report and support documentation by the external reviewer(s).
- A campus visit that includes meetings with all stakeholders. (The external review may be completed as a desk audit for online-only master's degree programs).
- A preliminary exit report shared at the conclusion of the site visit/desk audit.
- An external review report that includes all required review criteria and is provided in a timely manner.
- Integration of the external program review reports and subsequent action plans into the annual assessment plan.
