Introduction
Program Review at Mohawk College integrates elements of the College Quality Assurance Audit Process (CQAAP) standards. The review process at the College ensures that all issues of quality are addressed on a regular basis. To achieve this, several policies have been developed and committees established to meet these standards. These policies reside on the Mohawk College website. The Comprehensive Program Review Process (CPR) is designed to advance the College's Strategic plan and program quality. The process results in recommendations to support curriculum-relevant priorities based on extensive consultation.

Comprehensive Program Review (5 years)
Comprehensive Program Review is a recurring program quality review process that is conducted every five years according to established processes and criteria for all programs offered by the college. An extensive and methodical Comprehensive Program Review evaluates each program against the program quality standards and industry trends with the intent for program improvement. It provides program area faculty the opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments, challenges, and overall effectiveness of the program they represent. The Comprehensive Program Review final report represents the culmination of a scientific process used to capture major findings about the program that includes recommendations for improvement and action strategies for implementation.
