Administrative Effectiveness & Academic Student Service Unit Evaluations
The Administrative Effectiveness Evaluation (AEE) and Academic & Student Services Evaluation (ASSE) processes provide a streamlined pathway for W&M to demonstrate our commitment to effectively and efficiently fulfill our mission. The evaluation process addresses two standards prescribed by our accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC): Standard 7.3. Administrative effectiveness and Standard 8.2.c. Academic and student services.
Although both evaluations are structured similarly, the AEE process focuses on W&M's non-academic administrative units, while the ASSE process focuses on W&M's non-academic units that support student success. Both evaluations include the following components: Purpose/Mission Statement, Goal & Expectations, Evaluation Plan, Results, Target Achievement, & Action Plans. Evaluation plans and reports are documented annually using the Anthology Planning tool.
