Planning and Assessment Framework
Accreditation Alignment
In alignment with SACSCOC expectations, LSU demonstrates a commitment to the principles of continuous improvement, based on a systematic and documented process of assessing institutional performance with respect to mission in all aspects of the institution. The continuous improvement cycle includes the development of a plan, identification of expected outcomes and associated measures, assessment of the extent to which the outcome has been achieved, and evidence of seeking improvement based on analysis of the findings.
The following SACSCOC principles are addressed via the campus-wide strategic planning process:
-  7.1 The institution engages in ongoing, comprehensive,and integrated research-based planning
                                       and evaluation processes that (a) focus on institutional quality and effectiveness
                                       and (b) incorporate a systematic review of institutional goals and outcomes consistent
                                       with its mission.
                                       
                                       - Required Participants: All Planning Units
 
- 7.3 The institution identifies expected outcomes of its administrative support services
                                       and demonstrates the extent to which the outcomes are achieved. (Administrative/operational
                                       outcomes)

                                       these outcomes, and provides evidence of seeking improvement based on analysis of
                                       the results: c. Academic and student services that support student success. (Student
