Quality Enhancement Plan > QEP Process
A significant new feature of the Principles is the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) which takes the place of the traditional Self-Study prepared for past reaffirmations. The objective of the QEP is to lead to a course of action for institutional improvement by addressing a question or questions that contribute to institutional quality with special attention to student learning. The QEP should be an outgrowth of the institution's ongoing planning and evaluation process related to the institutional mission and should be based on comprehensive and thorough analysis of effectiveness of environment for student learning. The QEP supplements the institution's ongoing, integrated, institution-wide planning and evaluation processes and is not intended to supplant or replace these ongoing processes.
The QEP will draw on LSU's established institutional effectiveness process for ideas and will build on the University Planning Document which includes LSU's nine Strategic Directions as well as the individual Unit Plans that are submitted yearly by all areas of the university. The QEP will be a concise document written in much the format of a grant proposal and is limited to a maximum of a 75 page narrative and a 25 page appendix. Many elements of both the QEP and the Compliance Certification will be hyperlinked to different resources in electronic format.
