Updated Standards and Information Requirements for Program Assessment Process
The Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC) is pleased to release updated Assessment Standards and Criteria for its program assessment process. Included with this update are: (1) revised Information Requirements for New Degrees and (2) revised Information Requirements for New Certificates and Diplomas. These documents replace the assessment standards and information requirements included within the 2013 policy, Academic Program Assessment Prior to Implementation. The updated documents were developed through iterative consultation and revision including examining the program assessment process using Lean Six Sigma methodologies, researching policies and practices used by other Canadian quality assurance agencies, addressing feedback from universities and other interested parties, and incorporating lessons learned based on the experiences of AAU-MPHEC Quality Assurance Committee members and MPHEC staff. The MPHEC thanks all those who contributed to this work!
