A Systems Portfolio is an institutional assessment that is based on the nine AQIP
categories, a sort of "institutional balance sheet" that counts up the
strengths and gaps in our critical operating systems. The Systems
Portfolio contains an overview which helps to summarize each of the nine
chapters and serves as an up-to-date account
of key systems .
The Systems Portfolio is organized around the nine AQIP Categories,
a set of questions for each system or group of processes common to all
higher education institutions. For each Category, the questions ask the
institution to describe:
- the context for the system under examination (C),
- the key processes the organization uses to accomplish its goals (P),
- the performance results the organization is obtaining with its current processes (R), and
- how the organization uses its results data to identify targets for improvement and enhance the system and the organization's operations (I)
In 2003, three Writing Committees were established to begin working on
the first three Category chapters of the Systems Portfolio. In 2004,
six additional JCC AQIP Writing Committees were established with the
intention of completing the first draft of the Systems Portfolio by May
2005. After a campus-wide review, JCC submitted its first Systems Portfolio to NCA/AQIP
on June 1, 2006. Feedback from AQIP
arrived in October 2006, providing
insight to JCC's strengths and opportunities.
