Frequently asked questions about the Planning and Self Study (PSS) Assessment Software system
What is PSS?
Planning and Self Study (PSS) is a comprehensive assessment, planning, reporting, and data management system that provides tools for academic programs and administrative units to collect and manage their academic and non-academic assessment activities.
Why are we using PSS?
Assessment is paramount to improving student learning. This entails seeking a culture of aspiration and continual improvement rather than satisfaction of minimum requirements. Institutions must demonstrate a culture focused on student learning above all else 鈥愨 planning, administrative processes, student support, service, teaching, and research. PSS helps us to store, access, and analyze this information in a more meaningful way.
What do I need to do?
All assessment plans and reports will now be stored in PSS. Please refer to the faculty resource page for the most recent due dates for reports.
