Assessment Plan Composer – Online
Reporting Tool for Colleges:
The Assessment Plan Composer, available at http://www.coastal.edu/effect/apc/,
will write the Annual Report for you and you will receive feedback.
The best part is that its design will help to fulfill the SACS new Principles
of Accreditation. You need a username and password to use the Composer.
College representatives were sent access codes to the Composer, along
with detailed instructions. The Office of Institutional Research and
Assessment is available to assist you in entering your 2006-2007 annual
reports.
