Reviewing an Assessment Plan

After an Assessment Plan has been completed, reviewers may be assigned to review the plan using a rubric.

Note: This feature is currently only available for Program Assessment Plans, not Course Assessment Plans.

If you are assigned as a reviewer, you will receive an email notification that the plan is ready for review. You'll also receive a reminder email to complete the review within 48 hours of the due date.
