Performance metrics, produced annually, measure an academic programs progress towards strategic goals and a range of identified institutional priorities.
Annual Program Quality Assessment (APQA)
All post-secondary programs are reviewed annually through the Annual Program Quality Assessment (APQA) process, a critical step in Humber’s Quality Assurance Framework. This assessment is intended to provide a snapshot of a postsecondary program within its lifecycle. The APQA process prompts academic staff and administrators to reflect on the program’s alignment with program (vocational) learning outcomes, annual performance, and progress toward goals. It also helps them identify progress on action items since the last comprehensive program review. The APQA includes a review of the Program Map and Action Plan.Annual Performance Metrics
