Administrative Unit Assessment

Clayton State University administrative support units are assessed annually. The Office of the Provost supports this assessment and provides reports to the president. Each unit engages in a cycle of annual effectiveness review by submitting an AUA (MAAR) Report no later than July 1 for the previous fiscal year to assessment@clayton.edu. The Office of the Provost reviews the plans and provides written feedback. Next, during July and August, the unit lead(s) meet with the president to discuss results and plan for the upcoming year. This planning facilitates evidence-based, data-based decision-making for the upcoming year, continuous improvement, and excellent service for the community.
