Letter of Understanding
Year 2: February
Letter of Understanding
The Letter of Understanding (LOU) provides an outline of important dates and deliverables included in the APR process. The LOU gives units a template outlining the themes and questions to be examined as part of the assessment process.
There are three mandatory themes to be included in the APR:
- Address how use of evidence of student learning refines program curriculum and pedagogy (Student Learning and Support)
- Identify evidence for determining strategic issues, recommendations for optimizing resource utilization and requests are used to improve program delivery and sustainability (Strategic Issues, Resources, and Sustainability)
- Provide evidence used to envision future programming changes (Executive Summary)
Units may include additional questions specific to items they wish to explore as part of the Self-Study practice.
Each of the required themes have standardized questions which all units undergoing APR answer using narratives and supporting quantitative data evidence.
