Welcome...
to University Planning and Assessment at Texas State University. It is our philosophy that these two processes go hand in hand and are critical to the success of every endeavor we take as a university. We strive to establish and maintain a comprehensive and integrated planning, budgeting, and assessment process that will spur Texas State closer to becoming one of the premier universities in the state of Texas.
Open Forums for 2012-2017 Planning Cycle
In preparation for the kick-off of the new 2012-2017 planning cycle in Fall 2012, college deans and vice presidents are publicly sharing their top five planning priorities with the campus community.

On Tuesday, April 10th at 2:00 p.m. (in the Reed Parr Room, JCK 1100), the Provost will share his priorities in an open forum, followed by the vice presidents on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. (in the Reed Parr Room, JCK 1100).

Introducing the 2012-2017 Strategic Planning Cycle
Beginning spring 2012, all academic departments/schools/colleges and administrative departments/units/divisions will begin developing strategic plans for 2012-2017 which will align with the recently approved University goals and initiatives. Detailed instructions, samples, and a formatted template are provided in the specific drop-down menus above. Additionally, a faculty development workshop will be presented on February 1st, as well as a professional development session on either February 13th or 14th, to guide in the development of these plans. The new planning cycle will be implemented in fall 2012.
2011-2012 Outcomes Revisions
With the fall semester getting underway, it is time to begin reviewing and revising missions, outcomes, and methods/measures for 2011-2012 using the Texas State outcomes assessment system. Due dates are as follows; unit heads will approve outcomes and assessment methods/measures for each of their departments by
October 14, 2011. The Office of University Planning and Assessment will then audit reports for compliance from
October 17 – 24, 2011. When all of the corrections and final modifications are completed based on audit report findings, vice presidents will then review and approve revisions for each department by
October 31, 2011. For additional information, contact Lisa Garza at 5-2780 or at
