This electronic portfolio explains ongoing activities of Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) with regard to key components of the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), a reaccreditation program selectively available through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

In responses to specific quality questions, the systems portfolio demonstrates the context in which CVTC implements the aspects of its educational mission, the processes the college uses to fulfill that mission, results achieved from the efforts, and the improvements realized and planned based on those results. The portfolio identifies significant trends, presents comparative data to specifiy performance gaps or opportunities, and provides information about how CVTC uses resources to serve students and other stakeholders.

Research and experience indicates that a culture of such common values permeates colleges and universities that achieve a truly systematic approach to continuous quality improvement. Consequently, in striving for improvement as a continuous quality learning college, CVTC will focus on embracing and exhibiting these important values in every effort and endeavor.
