Academic Planning Manual

About the Academic Planning Manual

The Academic Planning Manual describes the major university processes for addition of new programs, review of existing programs, and other programmatic changes that result in resource and curricular decisions. Careful planning is indispensable in any environment but especially in the current climate of fiscal austerity and increased accountability. It is important that our strategic plans be reflections of our shared vision and mission, be informed by regular evaluation, and be utilized in the campus decision-making apparatus. The following resources can be useful in this process.

THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (CSU) PROGRAM PLANNING GUIDE

To assist with Academic Planning, the Chancellor's Office has provided a web-based guide that includes all pertinent laws, statutes, policies, and descriptions of processes used by the Chancellor's Office relating to academic programs.

CONNECTING ACADEMIC PLANNING AND PROGRAM REVIEW

Review of Existing Programs

The program review process (see University Program Review) strives to inform program decisions based upon evidence-based assessment. Assessment results, in turn, lead to a foundation for informed budget and curricular decisions. This dynamic interplay, which is at the heart of the program review, is primarily a faculty-driven process. Program review establishes intermediate benchmarks and follow-up plans that track progress toward achieving and ensuring alignment of student, programmatic, and university-wide academic goals and objectives. These benchmarks are assessed and reviewed in the annual reports. Program review and annual reports form the basis for reporting the program's continuous improvement strategies and success. Program review provides an evidence-based determination of whether students are accomplishing the program's learning objectives through outcomes-based assessment of student learning and development. The results of program review provide the evidentiary basis for informed, transparent and accountable decisions about program, faculty and student needs, curricular planning, and resource allocation and management. The campus systematically integrates program reviews into planning and budgeting processes.
