Assessment & Accreditation
The Assessment & Accreditation arm of Analytics & Planning supports Jacksonville University's commitment to academic and operational excellence by facilitating a comprehensive, data-driven system of academic and administrative assessment. In the pursuit of meaningful continuous improvement, the office consults with faculty, staff, administrators, and other campus stakeholders regarding recognized best practices, strategies, and standards. Additionally, Analytics & Planning facilitates assessment activities in compliance with SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation.
Assessment Model
Jacksonville University (JU) has a comprehensive, integrated planning and assessment
process. Planning and assessment occurs at the institutional level and extends to
the classroom level. It is a cyclical process whereby plans are developed and implemented
on an annual basis, outcomes are assessed, and findings are used to guide improvements.
To achieve this process, the University utilizes an online assessment system that
allows users to align their goals and objectives with those of the University.
