Welcome to UVU's Institutional Effectiveness website . The model shown here describes the assessment process we use in evaluating our effectiveness at all levels within the institution. We strive for continuous improvement and innovation in our instructional programs, institutional services, and activities.




Institutional Effectiveness Continuous Improvement Loop - 1. Set or review goals, 2. Determine means of assessing, 3. Collect and analyze evidence, 4. Adjust, improve, innovate
  1. Set, or review, goals
    Where are we now and where should we be in the future? What impact should our program or services have on students?

  2. Determine means of assessing
    What evidence can I gather about how well our goals are being realized? What is success?

  3. Collect and analyze evidence
    What does the evidence tell us about our effectiveness? Can we see specific areas where there is a need or opportunity for improvement?

  4. Adjust, improve, innovate
    What can we do to improve? How will we implement any changes, initiatives, or innovations?
