    What are the institution’s definitions of terms such as full-time faculty, regular/permanent faculty, part-time faculty, student-faculty ratio? Target is met; question or requirement is clearly addressed with examples/samples that are easy to understand. Anyone reviewing this would gain knowledge of how the College meets/addresses this standard. No clarity is required. Full Compliance evident with Question/Requirement
     
    Target is met; question or requirement is addressed with examples/samples; however, may not be clear to an external reviewer. I, in reviewing this information, still have some minor questions and/or feel the evidence (examples/ samples) provided do not demonstrate with 100% certainty compliance with this question/requirement
     
    Target is addressed; however not clearly enough to demonstrate compliance. Partial Compliance may be evident, but this needs more explanation and/or documentation Target in NOT met – This really misses the mark; any reviewer would state “non-compliance” based on the information and/or its presentation in the report.
