Within 30 days prior to the program review being conducted, you will need to return the institutional self-study provided to you by the reviewers and all supporting documents to the review team.

To maximize the benefits of your review or consultation, your self-study should include the following:

• A brief history of your honors program or college
• A self-assessment of how your unit aligns (or does not align) with each of NCHC's Shared Practices and Principles
• Short-term or long-term goals related to any of the Shared Practices and Principles
• Supporting documentation about curriculum, outcomes, and similar performance metrics

Two reviewers, trained by NCHC's Assessment & Evaluation Committee in the best practices and nuances of honors administration, will connect with you and learn all about the fine points of your honors unit.

The reviewers will compile the information gathered during your discussions and/or sessions into a comprehensive report detailing the strengths of your program and any areas that could benefit from improvements/additional support.

Once the final report has been compiled, copies will be distributed to your institution. The final report serves as a valuable tool to advocate for and support the growth and maturation of your honors unit. Customized to your institution's mission and your unit's unique needs, the report provides actionable insights for improving student learning outcomes and setting a foundation for continuous improvement. This report also showcases your strengths to key stakeholders while highlighting areas that could benefit from their support—giving you power to advocate more efficiently for your unit.
