Director's Message

I would like to welcome you to the APRO website. This website contains useful information and resources you need for the process of reviewing your program. Every year, our Office prepares a list of programs that have been approved by the Academic Council to undergo program review. In addition, the APRO organizes an Orientation presentation on the APR process at the beginning of every academic year as well as workshop on Student Outcome Assessment. The APR Guidelines explains in details the Review Process and will guide you to prepare the review of your program. A template can be downloaded from the website to prepare your Program Self Study Report. I hope you find this website useful.
