认证的责任

Many accreditation agencies are moving towards an expectation that programs adopt a continuous improvement model focusing on student outcomes/competencies. 这种方法需要时间、仔细的考虑、计划和定期的监视. BGSU内部有一些单位可以帮助教师, 管理员, 和 BGSU personnel with various aspects of implementing a continuous improvement evaluation plan 和 the assessment of student outcomes/competencies necessary for accreditation. 另外, open communication 和 early action by all involved in the accreditation process is necessary given the increased need for external reporting about accreditation activities to state 和 national agencies.

计划能力, 单位/项目认证联络/协调员, 学院院长, 机构博天堂官方网站办公室(OIR), 和机构效率主任(IE)在项目认证中发挥关键作用. The program faculty 和 the Unit/Program Accreditation Liaison/Coordinator engage in the appraisal of their academic program with a focus on continuous improvement. The Unit/Program Accreditation Liaison/Coordinator leads the accreditation process 和 all accreditation activities (e.g.、完成自学和评审报告、评审小组来访等.). 院长在IE之前审查和批准报告和其他通信. The OIR is the official data source for the institution 和 all data used in accreditation materials 必须 vetted through the OIR. IE主任 reviews 和 approves all accreditation reports 和 documents 之前 to their submission; serves as the Institutional Liaison with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) 和 the Ohio Department of Higher 教育 (ODHE); 和 serves as the institutional contact among the President, 教务长, 单位/项目认证联络/协调员.
