A COMMITTEE ON ACCREDITATION OF CAAHEP

SEPTEMBER 2015 

Performing Your Annual Resource Assessment

Assessment of program resources is to be performed at least annually (Standard III.D.) using the Student Resource Survey instrument and the Program Personnel Resource Survey instrument as well as any other program assessment activities. Programs are to use the Resource Assessment Matrix format to define their assessment system, collate the assessment results, and develop action plans to address deficiencies.

To assist program directors with analyzing the data collected from administering student and personnel resource surveys, a Program Resource Surveys Template was created. This spreadsheet tallies numbers from the surveys and prepares the Resource Assessment Matrix for analysis and completion. The worksheet contains locked cells. If you need to alter the worksheet you will need to unlock the cells.  Go to the review tab in the ribbon and select 'Unprotect Sheet'.  The password is: unlock (case sensitive).  When you have finished with your alterations, it will be important to relock the sheet.  (Although you can use any password, unlock is the simplest and makes future use of this workbook more user friendly.)

This tool is offered as a sample and an option for program directors.

To request a copy of questions in the SurveyMonkey format for the Students, Program Personnel, Graduates, and Employers survey instruments, you must be a SurveyMonkey professional plan holder. Email your program's name, program number, and SurveyMonkey Username to lynn@coaemsp.org.

CAAHEP Fees Increase July 2016
.........................................................................................................................................
CAAHEP Staff Contact: Kathleen Megivern, megivern@caahep.org
.........................................................................................................................................

This is a reminder that CAAHEP's institutional fees will increase effective for the year that begins July 1, 2016. This is the first increase in over 15 years! The fee will be raised from $450 per year to $550 per year. This is the fee paid by every institution that sponsors one or more CAAHEP-accredited programs.

Kathleen Megivern, JD, CAAHEP Executive Director, said, "The increase in institutional fees will not take place until July 1, 2016, so that our educational institutions will have adequate time to budget for the increase no matter when their fiscal year begins. Programs and institutions will receive notices throughout the coming year as reminders to prepare for the new fee structure."

Any educational institution or CAAHEP accredited program with questions on the new institutional fee should contact the CAAHEP office for assistance.
