What program(s) you require access to

An account with your credentials will be created and you will be contacted when this is accomplished. 

If a program goes through an name change, the Office of Accreditation, Assessment and Learning will NOT create a new program, but will adjust the existing program. This will allow the unit to run reports longitudinally for the program. 

Use caution when combining programs together in a program assessment report (e.g., combining Program XXX, BA degree, and Program XXX, BS degree). The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) will want to know why these are two different degrees but have the same learning outcomes. However, perhaps you plan to have, and report on, Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) common to both, but then report an additional SLO specifically for the BA and an additional SLO specifically for the BS. This would be an acceptable approach to combining degree programs in annual assessment reports while making it clear that they have different SLOs. Consult with the assessment reporting platform System Administrator for best practices set-up. Always make sure program SLOs match those in the current Kent State catalog.

If there is information already entered in both the BA and the BS as they currently stand, there is no way to combine them without some sacrifices. A new account with  the combined Program XXX BA/BS could be created so that you preserve the data of both separately, but then going forward you will have a combined workspace. If one or both currently does not have previous data entered, we will rename one to Program XXX BA/BS, and inactivate the other.
