S N.I. U

The college or school considers student perspectives and includes student representation, where appropriate, on committees, in policy-development bodies, and in assessment and evaluation activities.

The college or school involves student representatives on appropriate program committees, as well as in accreditation self-studies and strategic planning activities.

The pharmacy students feel their perspectives are heard, respected, and acted upon in a fair and just manner.

A clear process exists for students to follow to raise issues with the college or school administration.

The college or school administration responds to problems and issues of concern to the student body.

3) College or School’s Comments on the Standard: The college or school’s descriptive text and supporting

evidence should specifically address the following. Use a check to indicate that the topic has been adequately addressed.

Student input regarding curricular issues and other aspects of the professional program are

encouraged in a number of ways, including representation on College committees, personal

meetings with the Associate Dean of Student Affairs & Faculty Development (ADSA&FD),

availability of open forums, course evaluations and participation in student organizations.

Student Representation

The College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences bylaws provide for student representation

on several College standing committees, as well as faculty search committees and the current

accreditation self-study committee. Students serve on the following six standing College

committees:

1. Curriculum

2. Assessment

3. Student Affairs

4. College Awards

5. Planning, Priorities and Resources

6. Dean’s Student Liaison Committee (DLC).

A full list of the College’s committees (with student representation indicated) can be found on the

College’s website: http://www.ndsu.edu/pharmacy/college_information/committees/ and in

Appendix 7D.

The DLC meets on a regular basis with the ADSA&FD and is comprised of elected members from

each professional class and student organizations in the College. The DLC’s purpose is to provide

students with an opportunity to interact directly with College administration, to exchange

information, advise the dean on student organization budget requests and to problem-solve on

Page 3: Standard No 22 Student Representation and Perspectives€¦ · The other methods (e.g., focus groups, meetings with the Dean or other administrators, involvement in self-study activities,

Page 3 of 5

matters of interest and concern to students. The dean and associate deans also host a “Dean’s

Open Forum” at least once each semester to provide all students with the opportunity to voice

issues of concern about any aspects of the program.

The ADSA&FD has an “open door policy” whereby students are actively encouraged to bring

issues to light which can improve participation in program governance. While not every issue can

be comprehensively and completely resolved in a manner desired by the student, the ADSA&FD

nonetheless brings those issues to the College’s administration for discussion and resolution. The

number of issues brought to the ASDA&FD’s attention varies; usually one to two issues are

presented by students each month. The ADSA&FD is usually able to appropriately address the

issue and communicate the resolution to the student within three business days. Occasionally,

issues require more time to resolve. As an example, during the 2010-2011 academic year, budget

cuts resulted in a reduction of hours in which the Sudro Hall library was open and available to

students. The ADSA&FD and the DLC worked to have a portion of the library converted into a

separate study room, which was available to students as long as Sudro Hall was open to the

public. This allowed students greater access to quiet study areas over a larger period of time each

week.

Student Perspectives in Program Evaluation and Development

Student ratings of instruction are obtained each semester in all courses. College faculty members

use a standardized form to conduct evaluations that include an opportunity for students to provide

written input regarding faculty-teaching methods (Appendix 22A). Data from these forms are

computerized, and student comments are compiled separately. A majority of the student

evaluations are collected through an online survey with the help of the campus Group Decision

Center. All feedback is shared privately with the individual faculty members. The faculty members,

in collaboration with the department chair and ASDA, use this feedback to improve teaching.

In 2009, faculty partook in a student-led campus pilot project to implement optional mid-term

course evaluations. The mid-term course evaluation gives students an opportunity to provide mid-

semester feedback, allowing faculty to make changes to their course based on current student

perspectives. Based on the pilot project conducted in the College, mid-term evaluations are now

offered as an optional evaluation campus-wide.

Currently, eight student organizations are active in the professional pharmacy program:

ASHP

American Pharmacists Association Academy of Students of Pharmacy (APhA/ASP)

The Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (CPFI)

The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA)

Phi Lambda Sigma (PLS)

The Rho Chi Society

The Public Health Association

Kappa Psi

Students have opportunities to participate in activities with a variety of foci. Pharmacy students are

also active members in other related organizations, like the Native American Professional Program

(NAPP), the Multicultural Affairs Program (MAP), Mortar Board, Blue Key and Golden Key. Overall,

student organizations, as well as required coursework, provide opportunities for student-to-student

interaction.

4) College or School’s Final Self-Evaluation: Self-assess how well the program is in compliance with the standard by putting a check in the appropriate box :

Compliant Compliant with Monitoring Partially Compliant Non Compliant

No factors exist that compromise current compliance; no factors exist that, if not addressed, may compromise future compliance.

• No factors exist that compromise current compliance; factors exist that, if not addressed, may compromise future compliance /or

• Factors exist that compromisecurrent compliance; an appropriate plan exists to address the factors that compromise compliance; the plan has been fully implemented; sufficient evidence already exists that the plan is addressing the factors and will bring the program into full compliance.

Factors exist that compromise current compliance; an appropriate plan exists to address the factors that compromise compliance and it has been initiated; the plan has not been fully implemented and/or there is not yet sufficient evidence that the plan is addressing the factors and will bring the program into compliance.

• Factors exist that compromise current compliance; an appropriate plan to address the factors that compromise compliance does not exist or has not yet been initiated /or

• Adequate information was not provided to assess compliance

Compliant Compliant with Monitoring Partially Compliant Non Compliant

5) Recommended Monitoring: If applicable, briefly describe issues or elements of the standard that may require further monitoring.
