Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
QEP is an initiative that will enhance student learning, and reflects the mission and values of the institution.
UHD's QEP is currently in the process of development to enhance and complement the objectives outlined in our strategic plan. This initiative will empower us to further our crucial goal of ensuring student success.
Topic Selection: Jan '24 - March '24
Step 1. QEP Topic Proposal Guidelines
Developing a QEP as a part of the reaffirmation process is an opportunity for the institution to demonstrate its commitment to continuous improvement of student learning and student success – the most fundamental role of any institution of higher education.
Topic proposals will be received via the form below. While we are taking in your proposal field by field in the form, the combined text received in the form should not exceed five pages. Perhaps type your responses in a separate Word document, and then paste your responses in the form.
The topic proposal needs to be detailed and demonstrate potential for implementation and success, but can leave room for further development. Individuals who submit QEP proposals will not necessarily be the same individuals responsible for directing the plan if the plan is selected.
Timeline: Proposals were accepted between January 12, 2024, and February 21, 2024. Submissions have now closed.
Step 2. Develop QEP Topic Proposals
The QEP topic development teams have scheduled various meetings to work with the campus community to listen and discuss the QEP and each theme.
Proposal Selection Process
Authors of selected proposals will be asked to present and answer questions about their proposal at the February 23 Steering Committee meeting (9-11am, ACAD 701).
Open Office Hours
We are offering open office hours for individuals who would like feedback on ideas or help with the proposals.
