The  P‐I‐E  graphic  illustrates  the  college’s  link  between  program  review,  planning  and  resource  allocation.  The 

comprehensive program review process (Step 2) culminated in planning goals designed to enhance aspects of the program 

or student learning.  

Program review results were integrated into college‐wide planning in Step 3 during the three‐year wing plan review and 

revision process. Certain plans will require resource allocation to ensure completion. Steps 4 ‐ 5 integrated planning needs 

campus‐wide and allowed for each wing to prioritize its needs and for College Council to prioritize resource needs campus‐

wide.  

The Annual Planning Update Process  is described  in Step 7 and  involves evaluating the planning process for milestone 

updates that may include new resource requests as well as new strategies.

Prepared by: Office of Institutional Effectiveness  Page 2  11/21/2016 

STEP1:Review/AddPlanningStrategies

Determine if new strategies need to be added based on updated data trends, outcomes assessment

If new strategies are needed, provide details, including the assessment method, responsible parties, and 

justification. 

STEP2:ProvideUpdateonProgress

Consider the progress toward achieving each strategy since it was created and summarize the level of 

accomplishment. How far has it come along? 

Review the milestones that were created for each strategy and update, as needed. What activities have 

been/are expected to be accomplished in 2016‐17, 2017‐18, and 2018‐19? 

If any strategies are behind schedule/stopped, indicate the reason. 

STEP3:Enter/CopyAnnualResourceRequests(ARRs)

Describe anticipated resource requests, including rationale and cost estimates for each request. 

Or copy ARR from 2015‐16 to submit again if not previously funded. 

STEP4:MapStrategiestoCollegePrioritiesandEducationalMasterPlan(EMP)

Indicate which strategies (if any) align with the college priorities: 

o A Culture of Meaningful Engagement  o Equity and Diversity o Access to Success ‐ Pathways o Holistic Framework for Student Development o Infrastructure to Support Services and Learning
