A: Yes. The form is available at https://www.alamo.edu/sac/about-sac/college-offices/integrated-planning-and-performance-excellence/sac-scores/. See under “Institutional Research (For all Units)” > Non-Academic Staff.
Q: Why didn't I receive a Program Use-of-Data this time?
A: If your field of study links to the AA, AS and AAT degree/program, Dr. Blackwood has established a college-wide committee, and the members of that committee will produce a response for the AA, AS and AAT Program. Background - In the college catalog the college lists 40 PTE/CTE programs and the AA, AS, and 2 AAT degrees for a total of 44 degrees/programs. The catalog lists Architecture as a field of study within the AA degree/program. We're asking you to link to the AA for your response.
If your field of study links to the AAS degree/program, please contact email Savithra at seratne@alamo.edu
