If you are submitting a New Program Proposal (degree, stand-alone minor, or certificate) in the Curriculog system, you will need to include the following two items to satisfy the assessment requirements. Please complete the following templates and attach them to the official proposal.

  1. Academic Assessment Plan / Reporting - Template
    *Download the above template and fill in the first three columns. It will include the Program Student Learning Outcomes, Strategic Plan Connection, and the Measure and Methods - You want to show how the program will be collecting and analyzing the assessment data, e.g., the Who / What / When / How will data be collected. (For more specific information as to what should be included in the Measure and Methods column, see the UWG Peer Review Rubric here). The Strategic Plan Goals are also available here.
  2. Curriculum and Assessment Map - Template
    *Download the above template and fill in per the embedded instructions. IF you will be using course embedded assessment, be sure to include an "A" in the appropriate cells to indicate where learning outcomes will be assessed

Revise Program Requests where any program courses, student learning outcomes, or tracks/concentrations are impacted must attach an updated Curriculum and Assessment Map template. If student learning outcomes or program courses where assessment of SLOs take place have changed, then an updated Academic Assessment Plan/Reporting template needs to be attached as well.

Embedded Certificates and Certificates of Less than One Year do not require an Assessment Plan or a Curriculum and Assessment Map.

*It is HIGHLY recommended that programs have the Director of Assessment or Assessment Manager review and provide feedback on any and all assessment related documents prior to submission in the Curriculog system. Doing so can eliminate the need for revisions once submitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Program Map outlines the program courses and in which order they should be taken, while a Curriculum and Assessment Map outlines the courses and how they support student learning outcomes. It also differentiates the level of learning (Introduction, Reinforcement, Mastery) and indicates during which courses student learning outcomes are assessed. It should align with the Measure/Methods section of the Assessment Plan.
All courses in the Field of Study (FOS) should support at least one student learning outcome, even if an assessment of an SLO does not take place in that course (Introduction, Reinforcement, Mastery).
Revised programs typically require a revised Curriculum and Assessment Map because changes in the program can affect the alignment of courses with learning outcomes and assessment methods.
