3-Year Assessment Cycle Change + Annual Reporting Reminder
Previously due at the end of June in the final year of each 3-year cycle, the three-year program assessment deadline now falls a year later, at the end of June in the year after data collection is complete. This change, made at the request of faculty, provides a full academic year for reflection on assessment results. For example, a program in the College of Earth, Life and Health Sciences that collected data from 2023-24 to 2025-26 will now have its report due in June 2027, instead of June 2026. The assessment cycles themselves have not changed; only the due date for the report has been adjusted. For a complete list of due dates by college, please refer to Appendix A of the UMaine Assessment Plan.
As a reminder, annual assessment results should be submitted by the end of October every year, for results collected in the previous academic year. Annual assessment results are submitted via the Assessment Reporting portal (see Annual Assessment Reporting section). The change in the 3-year report due date does not affect annual assessment reporting due dates.
