The office of Institutional Planning and Assessment (IPA) supports the University of Saskatchewan with planning, assessment and institutional research, including:
- Developing and implementing integrated plans (learn about the current plan here)
- Designing and overseeing the planning process
- Budget planning and financial oversight
- Institutional assessment and evaluation
- Conducting and analyzing institutional surveys
- Preparing foundational documents
The team focuses directly on three key areas:
- Institutional planning: environmental scanning, institutional goals and plans, planning frameworks/critical design elements and support for decision-making
- Resource allocation: financial resources available to the institution and how these are distributed within the university
- Assessment and analytics: assessing institutional performance against goals and plans, against comparators and benchmarks, and unit performance against goals and priorities
The role of the office is to ensure the University of Saskatchewan is well-positioned nationally and that its planning process continues to innovate and provide the information required for decision-making for PAC and senior decision-making bodies of the university (board of governors, university council).
