Program Evaluations

Developing EOPC program evaluations involves the use of forms that can be downloaded from hyperlinked appendices below.

"Forms" are Adobe Acrobat files that must be downloaded, printed, and filled out with a typewriter or edited directly on your computer and then printed out (when printing out forms that you have edited on your computer, you must make sure you click your curser out of all editable areas; editable areas that have cursers in them will not print out).

Please do not re-format any of the on-line forms or templates; use them exactly as they come to you when they are downloaded.



Program evaluations occur by re-accessing the electronic version of the original proposal and filling in the items on the file that are specifically identified for use in program evaluations. See Appendix 7 for the Program Evaluation Example. The components of this evaluation follow:

• Description of actual program participants
• Identifying any changes that were made to the program goals
• Identifying any changes that were made to the objectives or measures of any goals
• "Yes" or "No" as to whether or not each objective was met
• Comment on any objectives that were not met
• Total number of objectives attained for all goals
• Summaries of quantitative and qualitative outcomes

Attach a summary of expenditures (use the Actual Expenditures Summary Budget form provided in Appendix 8), signed by the project director (type in the name of the financial officer). Also attach any other supporting documents (i.e., assessment instruments, tables, charts, historical/longitudinal data, etc.). Funds in the appropriate amount must be returned to EOPC if: 1) some portion of EOPC funds were unexpended; 2) expenditures of unit/external funds does not at least equal the expenditures of EOPC funds; or 3) EOPC or unit/external funds were not spent according to the allocated line items.

Additionally, student recruitment and retention programs need to provide further data that summarize their retention and graduation outcomes. These programs also must provide the PSU IDs of students who participated in their programs. If your program is a student recruitment or retention program, read more information about this evaluation.

ONE ORIGINAL AND SIX (6) COPIES of each proposal should be mailed on or before the deadline to the address listed below. See deadline schedule.
