Quick Updating Reminders

• How much must be updated each year?   At least half of the objectives, making sure all objectives are assessed at least twice in the five year planning cycle.  (Remember:  if you are choosing not to update a particular objective, please indicate as a Results/Observations when the objective will be evaluated).
• NEVER DELETE ANYTHING!  If there is an objective and/or assessment method that is no longer relevant, outdated, and/or just not meeting the needs of the department/program - please mark it as INACTIVE, rather than deleting it.  If the objective and/or assessment method needs minor tweaking in verbage or criterion, please EDIT it. 
• To Add or Update an Objective or Assessment Method, follow the path:  Reporting Unit Planning | Plan
• To Add or Update the Results/Observations or Meaningful Change, follow the path:  Reporting Unit Planning | Results/Observations
• Meaningful Change is reported in the past tense, and must include Evidence uploaded as a Related Document. 
• Please do not use "Directly related to Objective."  All results/observations and meaningful change should be nested under existing or newly created assessment methods.
