Administrative Assessment Committee (AAC)

Welcome to the Administrative Assessment Committee (AAC) homepage!

Mission

The mission of the Administrative Assessment Committee (AAC) is to support the Institutional Effectiveness agenda for various non-academic units at the College. The AAC will support the “Institutional Effectiveness Council (IEC)” by providing them with appropriately designed plans and outcomes that are assessed according to the standards of the Middle States Commission of Higher Education standards.

Working with “Division Effectiveness Committees (DEC),” the AAC will review, analyze and assess the plans and outcomes, as well as, close the loop on the assessment cycle for the participating units on the campus.

The AAC will also help the Strategic Resources Allocation Board (SRAB) by ensuring that they review the completed plan with the budgetary request for SPIF and Capital fund request.
