Office of Institutional Effectiveness
The mission of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) is to promote continuous improvement at the College, maintain integrity and consistency of College data, and provide internal and external stakeholders with data that allows for effective decision making.
Please contact us with any questions you may have.
The OIE works with all service areas to compile the annual Program Review reports. The Program Review serves a dual purpose at the JWCC: (1) it is a requirement of the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) and for continued accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), and (2) it is a formal process that allows the College to evaluate all of its programs to ensure improvement at the College. Each program, both academic and non-academic, is scheduled for program review on a five-year cycle.
After each fall and spring term, the OIE produces the Retention Report which has data on JWCC students from the previous fall/spring term. The objective of the report is to gather information on retention and attrition to serve as benchmarks and indicators of student success at the College.
