2013; older entries will show those new fields
as being blank.

menus; exceptions: Process, Results,

The single
“Process &
Results” field
has been
broken into 3
fields
Storing documents
• When entering Results for
Courses or Program SLOs, use
the “Related Documents” tab
at the bottom of the screen

Program reports are only available if you have CoA or degree. If
so, you also see core courses taught by other depts. You may
request access to their reports through the Dept. Chair.
