We listened to your comments, needs, and concerns in using
WEAVEonline for the past three years We searched for an alternative
to WEAVEonline that would better serve your needs Many on campus
used Compliance Assist for compiling the compliance documents
(certification & focused report) for reaffirmation of
accreditation with SACS and for creating the QEP LEAP document and
found the system flexible and easy to use We asked you all to come
and see Compliance Assist at several meetings and give us feedback
Based on all this input, Compliance Assist was selected as the best
choice for software to handle our ULPs and Program Review Why
Compliance Assist?

Basic ULP Structure
Slide 5
ULP Components General guidelines Goals (points of focus on
annual to-do list)what you are seeking to accomplish & linked
to MCCs strategic plan 2-6 (average is 3) Strategies (methods of
accomplishing your goals)how will accomplish Generally it takes 2
strategies per goal Measures (a specific date, number, or
measurable result that will let you know you accomplished what you
set out to do) helps you define the target/finish line Normally the
number of measures are about the same as number of goals (with a
single measure being used for multiple strategies) The 3-year
vision Most recent year completed What are lessons learned to
improve/revise upcoming year? Current year Gather documentation and
results throughout the year for inputting end-of-year results
Up-coming year Based on findings from past and current year,
develop a revised plan that will maximize improvement and make a
compelling case for the upcoming budget allocations
Slide 6
ULP Details Goals The most useful goals are time specific and
are stated in quantitative results- oriented terms (job
descriptions are a good example of this) Goals may be the same from
year to year When writing think about implementation dates and how
you will measure Use verbs like: improve, increase, enhance,
achieve, reduce, evaluate, measure, expand, upgrade Strategies Each
goal will need two or more strategies Strategies include specific
activities that will lead to accomplishment of the goal Use verbs
like: create, investigate, establish, conduct, develop, analyze,
attend, implement, provide
