Institutional Program Evaluation Policy
(IPEP)
The mission statement of Dawson College commits the College to:
“maintain standards of academic excellence essential to our students’ future success and
to provide the appropriate programs, services and technology to ensure that any student
admitted has the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to achieve these standards.”
A part of meeting this commitment is the evaluation of the academic programs offered here at the College. The Institutional Program Evaluation Policy (IPEP) document describes the policy framework within which these evaluations are carried out. The document also satisfies the requirements of Article 24 of the College Education Regulations (1993).
Objectives of the Institutional Program Evaluation Policy
The objective of IPEP is to ensure that such evaluation is undertaken in a manner that:
- is appropriate to the program being evaluated;
- is rigorous;
- acquires relevant, quality information;
- uses a methodology that allows sound conclusions to be reached and credible judgments to be made;
- respects ethical standards appropriate to an evaluation process;
- takes into account the efforts and opinions of major stakeholders;
- is useful and timely in providing realistic proposals that contribute to improvement of the program;
- is conducive to the development of a culture of continuous evaluation.
