Self-study Design
The Self-study Design is a document developed by the institution to serve as a guide for the Self-study process. It serves several purposes, including the following:
- Serves as a blueprint for the self-study process, including the final Self-study Report.
- Enables the Steering Committee and Working Groups to conceptualize and organize tasks relevant to self-study.
