Evaluating an Institution

CAQC’s comprehensive evaluation is a combined organizational and program evaluation of an institution.

Council normally conducts at least one comprehensive evaluation of an institution offering approved degree programs in Alberta. The first evaluation will occur no sooner than in the sixth academic year after the institution begins offering its first approved degree program. A subsequent comprehensive evaluation may be conducted at Council's discretion.

Institutions undergoing or preparing to undergo comprehensive evaluations are encouraged to read the Guide for Teams Conducting Comprehensive Evaluations and Chapter 5 of CAQC's Handbook: Quality Assessment and Quality Assurance.

Council has scheduled the following comprehensive evaluations:
