Course Evaluations Policy

CAS-Specific Policies Regarding Course Evaluations

  • Access by the dean or an associate dean to view an individual instructor’s evaluations outside the P&T or contract renewal processes will be determined by the dean’s cabinet in consultation with the instructor’s chair or director.
  • Access to course evaluation data from multiple instructors and/or semesters, for the purposes of institutional or faculty research, will be determined by the dean’s cabinet; relevant chairs or directors will be consulted in these instances. IRB approval should be sought as appropriate if the request is to advance faculty research.
