Schedule of Instructional Program Review
Programs are assigned to complete the Instructional Program Review on a three-year cycle, and a four-year cycle for CTE programs. Comprehensive program reviews are submitted in the Fall by the programs listed for that year. Program Review presentations are held in the spring. When requesting resources in years when their comprehensive program review is not due, programs are required to submit an Annual Plan with their planning and resource requests.
As a general reminder, there are some programs that could do either the Instructional Program Review process through IPC or Student Services Program Review process through SSPC. For these programs, it is up to the program which review process they want to follow. A program who has gone through one process in past years could decide to switch. In general, a program should choose the review process that provides them the most helpful feedback. To request a change, please notify the PBC Program Review Subcommittee no later than the start of spring break prior to your comprehensive review year: canprogramreview@smccd.edu.
