Institutional Effectiveness
Planning
Driven by UCC’s vision and mission, planning provides long and short-term direction to the College and includes establishing measurable outputs, outcomes, and associated indicators of success.
Resource Allocation
Resource allocation ensures that the College deploys its resources (people, money, space, technology, and equipment) to effectively achieve the College’s goals, priorities, and plans.
Assessment
Assessment processes provide data and analyses that enable UCC to evaluate the progress made against the measurable indicators defined during planning. The results identify areas for improvement, inform planning and decision-making, and allow the College to close the loop in a cycle of continuous improvement. Assessment takes place in all areas of operation.
