WHAT IS PROGRAM REVIEW?
OVERVIEW
Program Review is at the heart of planning at San José City College (SJCC). As a key component of the integrated planning and resource allocation model, Program Reviews provide systematic, data-driven information that allows the College to examine the overall effectiveness of the institution. The Program Review process is designed to provide academic, student, and administrative areas the opportunity for review and assessment in relation to the College’s mission, vision, values and performance indicators. Moreover, the purpose is to ensure appropriate resources are being allocated to facilitate ongoing improvement in meeting the evolving learning needs of our students and community.
PROGRAM REVIEW CYCLE
During the spring 2011 semester, a working group of faculty, classified, and administrators was convened to develop and recommend a review process that was integrated into overall College planning. Based on the recommendations of the Program Review Workgroup (PRW), a process was adopted for continuous evaluation with clearly established links to Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) assessments and resource allocations. As a key component to SJCC’s Integrated Planning Process, all instructional, student, and administrative areas are required to go through the Comprehensive Program Review cycle. This cycle constitutes four years and is marked by Annual Program Reviews and a larger Comprehensive Program Review in the fourth year.
Annual Program ReviewsEach year programs not designated to complete a Comprehensive Program Review are required to submit an Annual Program Review. All programs must update assessment information, report major changes and document anticipated program needs for the year ahead. Ideally each annual review will provide key information that will eventually contribute to the comprehensive review in the fourth year. The annual reviews are designed to track:
PSLO/SLO Assessment Process Goals, Objectives and Activities Staffing Information
Technology Information Budget Information Other: Noting any key program changes in
all areasComprehensive Program ReviewsComprehensive Program Reviews involve an extensive and in-depth analysis of how well a program functions and addresses the alignment with the College mission, program characteristics, assessment, planning, and program improvement. The 2013-2017 Comprehensive Program Review schedule identifies the academic year each program is required to complete a comprehensive review.

WHO IS INVOLVED?
PROGRAM REVIEW SELF-STUDY GROUPS
Each program designated for Comprehensive Program Review whether it is academic, student or administrative services conducts a self-study as part of the college’s strategic planning process. The group should include faculty, classified and administrators working in the program.
The Self-study Group should: review, and analyze evidence and data including SLO assessment results review prior program self-study reports evaluate the existing program, dialogue with the assigned PRvC subgroup about preparation of
the program review prepare the preliminary and final drafts of the program review document for submission to the
assigned PRvC subgroup
The self-study provides the opportunity to reflect and critically assess the achievements, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, anticipated challenges and future directions of the program. The analysis and discussion of the findings is central to the review process.
PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE (PRvC)
The Program Review Committee (PRvC) is responsible for providing guidance to the College regarding the process and documents for the review. In addition, the PRvC plays a vital role in evaluating and providing feedback on the quality of the program review documents submitted by the areas undergoing a comprehensive review. The full committee breaks into PRvC subgroups to work closely with each program by validating and forwarding documents for the Strategic Planning Process.
Charge The PRvC is charged with the following: Evaluate and provide feedback on the quality of program review documents submitted by the
reviewing units. Validate completed program review document and forward the document to the Strategic Planning
Process. Monitor integration of program review process with strategic planning. Provide guidance to the College in the use of program review materials and the process of program
review. Annually evaluate the effectiveness of the program review process and policies and procedures
related to program review, and recommend improvements and revisions as needed. Report to the College Planning Council and the Academic Senate annually regarding Committee
findings and activities.Program Review Chair
Page 5San José City College
Program Review Handbook 2016-2017
The PRvC is chaired by a faculty member allocated 25% reassigned time to fulfill the following responsibilities: Coordinate the program review process. Maintain schedules, forms, templates, instructions, and other materials used in the program review
process Deliver reports to the College Planning Council and the Academic Senate annually regarding
Committee findings and activities Prepare Program Review Committee self-evaluation report Prepare for following year’s program review process
Program Review Committee Composition and Terms of ServiceThe PRvC membership is designated by the constituency groups represented and includes the following: 4 Academic Senate representatives 5 faculty representatives from the divisions, including Student Services 2 classified staff representatives 1 Associated Student representative 2 management team representatives Researcher as resource person (ex-officio)
Members serve for staggered terms of two to three years. New members in their first year will be mentored by experienced members.
Meeting Schedule The PRvC as a whole meets monthly during the fall and spring semesters. Subgroups will meet with their assigned programs as needed.
Operating Requirements:
Decision-making: The Program Review Committee will make decisions based on the consensus of members present at a meeting where the decision is being made. When consensus is not possible, the committee will vote.
Membership Requirements: The Program Review Committee is a “Working Committee” that requires all regular members to participate in the feedback and validation process for program reviews. Program Review Committee members work outside of regular committee meetings in subgroups that serve as resources for the writers of comprehensive program reviews. All members are required to work with their subgroups. When subgroup members become inactive, they may be removed from the committee.
Role of the Ex-Officio Member: The ex-officio member serves as a non-voting resource to provide information on data and to communicate the needs of the committee and program review writers with the Office of Research and Institutional Effectiveness.
HOW IS PROGRAM REVIEW ALIGNED WITH PLANNING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION?
Page 6San José City College
Program Review Handbook 2016-2017
The purpose of Program Review is to support the college’s strategic planning process and ensure it is collaborative, evidence-based, and sustainable. Program Review helps guide decision-making and resource allocation in the development of activities that support the improvement of institutional effectiveness and student learning. The role of Program Review is clearly illustrated in the model below and it is central to the review and assessment of the College’s mission, vision, and values.
Similar to all of the College’s planning processes; Program Review is evaluated annually by the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) to ensure continuous quality improvement and its effectiveness in moving the institution forward in accomplishing its mission. This handbook provides current guidelines for understanding and facilitating the review process.

evaluation process.All programs not submitting a Comprehensive Program Review must submit an Annual Program Review to the PRvC in the spring semester at the same time the final version of the Comprehensive Program Review documents are due. If major changes to the program are being considered during an annual review year, including additional staffing or resource allocations, a program representative should contact the PRvC Chair to identify a subgroup from the PRvC to work with the program and review the draft report prior to the submission deadline in mid-February.
WHAT PROCESS IS USED TO EVALUATE THE PROGRAM REVIEW?
In completing Program Review both qualitative and quantitative data should be utilized when responding to the review questions. Descriptions and data are important in order for readers to understand the self-study conclusions and recommendations. It is essential that careful analysis be provided in order to extract the maximum value from the process. This includes not only an examination of trends from the past to present but projections into the future. Since this is a process for self-improvement, it is encouraged that the self-study delves into the important future challenges and opportunities for the program and takes advantage of both self-reflection and dialogue among faculty and staff.
Completed program reviews are read and validated by the PRvC using a rubric designating the submitted review as either In Progress or Proficient. Following validation, the self-study documents will be posted electronically and accessible for review by the campus community and available for use in the budget allocation process. The table below delineates the descriptors used by the PRvC.
Page 9San José City College
Program Review Handbook 2016-2017
Table 3: Program Review Assessment Rubric Descriptors
In Progress Questions are not answered completely or references irrelevant information. Evidence and/or examples are insufficient or irrelevant. Answers are unclear. Thoughtful analysis of the questions, evidences, and issues relevant to the program is insufficient.Overall: Evidence that the program review is used for continuously evaluating and maintaining or enhancing the
quality and currency of the program is insufficient. Program review lacks adherence to the program review schedule and to the process (includes broad
participation and discussion, use of the correct forms). A program review with three or more areas “In Progress” will receive an “In Progress” as the overall
rating.
Proficient Questions are answered completely with relevant information. Evidence, concrete examples are adequate and relevant. Answers are well-written and clear. Answers reflect thoughtful analysis of the questions, evidences, and issues relevant to the program.Overall: The self-study strongly shows that the program review is used for continuously evaluating and
maintaining or enhancing the quality and currency of the program. The program review adheres to the program review schedule and to the process, which includes broad
participation and discussion, use of the correct forms.

Appendix B1: Comprehensive Academic Program Review Forms and Instructions
2016-2017 Comprehensive Program Review Form and InstructionsACADEMIC AFFAIRSSan José City College
INSTRUCTIONS:
What follows is a form outlining what should be addressed in the Comprehensive Program Review self-study. Additional issues and information may be included, as appropriate for your program. When identifying and analyzing trends, data should be examined for the period since the last program review, which is typically the last four years. The document should be written so that it is clear to external reviewers (members of the Academic Senate, College Planning Council, and Finance Committee) who may not be familiar with special terms and acronyms.
The purposes of a program review are improvement, alignment with established objectives, and planning for the future. The program review process provides opportunities for programs to review their accomplishments, examine their strengths and weaknesses, and develop plans through which improvements can be achieved. Program review conclusions and recommendations will be used in department, division, College, and strategic planning processes as well.
While the guidelines may be adapted to meet the needs of a particular program, they should be followed as closely as possible. The Office of Research and Institutional Effectiveness, the SJCC Research Analyst or the Division Dean can assist the department in locating much of the quantitative information and data needed.
Descriptions and data are important in order for readers to understand the Program Review conclusions and recommendations. It is essential that careful analysis be provided in order to extract the maximum value from the process. This includes not only an examination of trends from the past to present but projections into the future. Since this is a process for self-improvement, it is encouraged that the Program Review delves into the important future challenges and opportunities for the program and takes advantage of both self-reflection and dialogue among administrators, faculty and staff.
A word of caution is in order regarding solving problems or making improvements exclusively with the use of new resources. Program review is not an opportunity to list what the program can do only if the funds become available. It is expected that many solutions and improvements can be accomplished with careful planning and a focus on the most effective use of existing resources.

Appendix B3: Comprehensive Administrative Services Program Review Form and Instructions
2016-2017 Comprehensive Program Review Form and InstructionsADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
San José City College
INSTRUCTIONS:Please find below the form that includes the specific elements that should be included in the Comprehensive Program Review. Feel free to include additional information or documentation as you deem necessary. When identifying and analyzing trends and compliance regulations, be certain that these are current, occurring during program review cycle. The document should be written so that it is clear to external reviewers (members of the Academic Senate, College Planning Council, and Finance Committee) who may not be familiar with special terms, acronyms, regulations and compliance issues.
The purposes of a program review are improvement, alignment with established objectives, and planning for the future. The program review process provides opportunities for programs to review their accomplishments, examine their strengths and weaknesses, and develop plans through which improvements can be achieved. Program review conclusions and recommendations will be used in department, division, College, and strategic planning processes as well.
While the guidelines may be adapted to meet the needs of a particular program/department, they should be followed as closely as possible. The Office of Research and Institutional Effectiveness, the Dean/Manager, and/or the SJCC Research Analyst can assist the department in locating the quantitative information and data needed.
Descriptions and data are important in order for readers to understand the Program Review conclusions and recommendations. It is essential that careful analysis be provided in order to extract the maximum value from the process. This includes not only an examination of trends from the past to present but projections into the future. Since this is a process for self-improvement, it is encouraged that the Program Review delves into the important future challenges and opportunities for the program and takes advantage of both self-reflection and dialogue among administrators, faculty and staff.
A word of caution is in order regarding solving problems or making improvements exclusively with the use of new resources. Program review is not an opportunity to list what the program can do only if the funds become available. It is expected that many solutions and improvements can be accomplished with careful planning and a focus on the most effective use of existing resources.

Appendix E1: Definition of Terms Program Review Data Sheets
Census Seat Count The number of students enrolled in the indicated classes as of the census day for each class. This is a duplicated count of students. Students taking more than one class are counted once for each class taken.
FTES Full-time Equivalent Student. Based on the idea that to earn a two-year degree or certificate a student would need to take 15 hours per semester for four semesters. This metric is a measure of aggregate student load. It converts part-time student loads into their full-time equivalence. 1 FTES = 15 units per term.
WSCH Weekly Student Contact Hours. It is the number of student contact hours in classes during a typical week for a typical semester-long class. Student contact hours for short-term or positive attendance classes are normally converted to WSCH. It is the sum of the number of students enrolled times the number of hours a class meets each normal week. This is another measure of aggregate student load. It has a direct and constant relationship to FTES. WSCH relates to FTES as inches relates to feet. They measure exactly the same thing but on a different scale. Specifically, 1 FTES = 525 WSCH x 16.3 weeks per semester.
Resident FTES The FTES of legal residents of the state. Resident FTES is used to calculate state apportionment funding. The college also enrolls out-of-state and foreign students, i.e., non-resident students who pay the full cost of instruction in their fees and are not counted for state apportionment funding.
Non-Resident FTES The FTES of out-of-state and foreign students. Non-resident FTES is not counted toward state apportionment funding. Non-resident students pay the full cost of instruction in their fees.
FTEF Full-time Equivalent Faculty. This is a function of faculty load. A faculty member teaching a normal load for two semesters (fall and spring) is considered to be one (1) FTEF. Often expressed as a percentage of a normal full-time load. Thus, the faculty load for a given class might be 20%. The teaching FTEF reflected in the Program Review data sheets includes only the faculty load involved in teaching classes and thus excludes reassignment load.
Resident Productivity Resident WSCH per FTEF, i.e., Resident Weekly Student Contact Hours per Full-time Equivalent Faculty. This is a technical expression of the student-to-faculty ratio. In the Program Review data sheets, Productivity is calculated by first converting FTES to WSCH by the formula WSCH = (FTES x 525) / 16.3. Then WSCH is divided by teaching FTEF to obtain Productivity: Productivity = WSCH / FTEF.
Number of Sections A section is a class of a course. A course may have more than one section. Thus English 1A, for example, may be offered in five distinct and separate classes in a given semester. The number of sections is a count of all the distinct classes offered in the indicated unit (e.g., a department) during the semester.

Program Review Handbook 2016-2017
Number of Courses A count of the number of distinct courses offered during a given semester. Thus while English 1A may be offered in five classes, it counts as only one course.
Capacity Percentage of the seats available (or enrollment limit) for a given class (section) that are occupied by enrolled students at census. Census enrollment / number of seats available.
Full-time Faculty % Percentage of total FTEF for a unit (e.g., division, department) that is taught by full-time or regular permanent faculty during a regular semester.
Overload Faculty % Percentage of total FTEF for a unit (e.g., division, department) that is taught by full-time or regular permanent faculty as a load in addition to a normal full-time load during a regular semester.
Part-time Faculty % Percentage of total FTEF for a unit (e.g., division, department) that is taught by part-time (temporary, adjunct) faculty during a regular semester.
Retention Rate The rate at which a group of students complete a class or set of classes. It is calculated by dividing all completion grades (A, B, C, D, F, CR, and NCR) by the total number of student grades (i.e., completion grades plus incompletes plus official W grades). In this version, it does not use census seat count as the divisor though that may be done elsewhere.
Success Rate The rate at which a group of students successfully complete a class or set of classes. It is all success grades (A, B, C, CR) divided by the total number of official grades including W grades.
Census Headcount The unduplicated count of students taking classes in a given unit such as a department or division. While Seat count counts a student for every class the student takes, and hence is “duplicated” if the student takes more than one class, Headcount counts each student only once no matter how many classes he or she may be taking in that unit.
Demographics Breakdowns of student census headcount by various student characteristics such as age, ethnicity, and full or part-time status. Since grades are determined at the end of the term, their distribution reflects all official grades awarded.
MIS Data Management Information Systems (MIS) Data is different information, or data elements, provided by each college to the State Chancellor’s Office about students, courses, student services, outcomes and faculty and staff. *
