PRC reviews are designed to be applicable to departments, programs, and services regardless of institutional mission, size, function, organization, and budget. PRC services are not a form of  accreditation process or a set of standards. External reviews provide peer-to-peer assistance from seasoned student affairs officers and subject matter experts which results in meaningful insight and valuable recommendations. 

The scope of the review depends on the goals of the project. Review projects generally involve the following activities over the course of a three- to four-month period: 

• Introductory conversation with administrator requesting a review

• Nomination and identification of subject matter experts as reviewers

• Guidance with self-study process or other reflective component

• Assistance in preparing staff to participate in review

• Review of reports, documents, assessments, data

• Qualitative data collection - 1.5-day campus visit or remote interview period

• Written report of findings, analysis, and recommendations.
