Evidence InventoryThe MSCHE Evidence Inventory a required part of the Self-Study process.Please review Module Six of the Self-Study Guide on the MSCHE website. Please be in touch with your MSCHE Vice President Liaison to ensure you have the most recent instructions about what should be uploaded to your institution portal. This may be different for different Self-Study cohorts. Guidance for CUNY CollegesLinks Updated 7.22.2020In gathering evidence to support your Self-Study, the primary focus should be the college’s own documentation, which should be listed first. Suggestions of institutional documents the colleges may include are highlighted in yellow and followed with (C). These suggestions are not meant to be exhaustive, but are there to provide ideas. The remaining documents pertain to CUNY policies or documents related to the CUNY as a whole.Please be strategic about which documents to include. You do not need to list all of these. Rather, they are meant as a menu of CUNY documents, processes, and procedures from which to choose.This is a working document developed by members of the CUNY MSCHE Council.
