Planning at SC State University serves as a roadmap for keeping the University on course for realizing its vision. SC State engages in continuous planning and evaluation through regular updates and reviews of the strategic plan, annual reports, and accountability reports. Providing updates on the performance of the University demonstrates the level of accountability and efficiency in which the University operates, manages its resources, and meets the needs of its students and the community.
Annual Reports
Annual Reports are internal reviews of the accomplishments of the various divisions and departments at the University. They represent the unit level of achieving strategic goals and objectives. They are compilations of information from individual unit reports submitted by deans and directors of the colleges and administrative departments. Individual annual reports are located within the offices of vice presidents, deans, department chairs, and directors.
Strategic Plan and Reports
The University’s strategic plan provides a five-year guide to assist in moving the university forward. It serves as a vehicle for sharing the vision, goals and objectives of the administration. Once implemented, regular updates on the progress in meeting the objectives as well as providing necessary adjustments are provided to the Board of Trustees, administrators and unit heads. The Planning website includes copies of past and current strategic plans and progress reports.
Accountability Reports
The Accountability Report demonstrates the level of efficiency in which the University operates, manages its resources and meets the needs of its students and the community.
