AQIP (Academic Quality Improvement Program)

AQIP Systems Portfolio Discussions

The AQIP Steering Committee is seeking feedback on the current draft of three Categories of the AQIP Systems Portfolio. Recall that the Systems Portfolio is the essential tool ICC uses to guide its accreditation self-study. The college's first Systems Portfolio is due to the Higher Learning Commission in June, 2010.

The AQIP Steering Committee is planning to gather this initial feedback through "roundtable" discussions to be held at three of ICC's campuses on the following dates:

Tuesday, 11/17 at ICC North: 4:30 - 6 pm, Arbor 270
Wednesday, 11/18 at ICC East Peoria: 2 - 3:30 pm, Tranquility Room (210A)
Thursday, 11/19 at ICC Perley/Thomas: 11:30 am – 1 pm in Perley 203 (bring lunch and we'll have dessert!)

At each of these events, participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback on these three categories of the Systems Portfolio:

Category 1: Helping Students Learn
Category 3: Understanding Student and Other Stakeholder Needs
Category 4: Valuing People

You can click on the links above to download and review them prior to the discussion dates. If you will be unable to attend on any of the three discussions dates, the Committee would still appreciate hearing from you. You can provide your comments on the draft sections by emailing David Cook at dcook@icc.edu.

To reserve a spot at any of the discussions, please contact Paula Fraley at 5731 or at pfraley@icc.edu. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact David Cook, Director of Accreditation and Assessment at 5269 or at dcook@icc.edu.
