What is Program reVision?
Program ReVision at Scottsdale Community College is more than a look back. It is an opportunity to understand where your program is today, envision what it could become, and bring together the people, evidence, and resources needed to move forward.
Program ReVision is a human-centered, collaborative planning experience built around a simple idea: you bring what only you can: your expertise, experiences, partnerships, challenges, strengths, and aspirations. SCC brings the rest.
Throughout the process, your program is surrounded by the institutional expertise and support needed to turn ideas into action:
Evidence you can use. Institutional Research provides comprehensive data and works alongside you to understand what it means—not simply hand you another dashboard.
Expertise brought to you. Advising, Marketing, Budget, Information Technology, Facilities, Career Services, and other partners join the process based on what your program needs.
A plan connected to resources. Your long-term goals flow into annual planning and resource requests, connecting what you want to accomplish with opportunities for institutional support and investment.
Support beyond the ReVision. The work does not end when the meetings are over. Long-term goals become actionable annual plans with measurable targets, implementation steps, and ongoing opportunities to assess progress.
Whether the opportunity is to grow, redesign, innovate, strengthen what already works, or address a difficult challenge, Program ReVision creates the space to step outside the demands of today and intentionally design what comes next.
Program Review Consists of 4 Sessions:
Program Review Consists of 4 Sessions:
This is the first session in Program Review.
At this session, we discuss any data needs you might have outside of the standard data products we have developed to support this process.
We will talk about how to best define and capture your program and what type of peer comparisons or benchmarking you could use to evaluate your program offerings or services.
This is the second session in Program Review.
At this session, the Institutional Research office will present a prepared analysis of your program's data. We will fill out a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis based off of the data and our dialogue.
We will also discuss what resource teams you would like to have attend your planning session in order to support your long-term plan development. This could include Marketing, Budget Office, HR, Facilities, Assessment, etc.
This is the third session in Program Review.
At this session, we will develop your 3-4 year long-term plan. We will discuss strategies and actions, specifically for the first year of your plan. We will support your program in determining what resources might be needed in order to accomplish your goals.
You will leave this session with the first draft of your long-term plan. This plan will help prepare you for any resource requests you need to make in the annual planning and resource request process. You will also be prepared to address any targets your team will be working on as a part of the Strategic Action Framework.
Final Session: Close the Loop
In this session, we take your final plan to the division leadership to get their feedback. This ensures alignment between your vision and the college's priorities. After this meeting, you are ready to begin implementing your plan and achieving your goals!

What is the benefit of completing a reVision?
What is the benefit of completing a reVision?
Completing a Program reVision gives your unit the chance to step back, reflect, and refocus — and it pays off in big ways. Here’s what you get out of it:
Clarity on What’s Working (and What’s Not) - You’ll take a close look at your data, outcomes, and experiences to understand where your strengths lie — and where your time and energy can make the biggest impact.
A Clear, Strategic Plan for the Future - Through structured reflection and support, you’ll come away with a real plan — not just for what to do next year, but for where your program wants to be 3–4 years from now.
A Stronger Voice in Institutional Planning - Your review feeds directly into the college’s budgeting and strategic planning cycles — which means your priorities are heard at the table when big decisions are made.
Access to the Support You Need - When you identify goals, you won’t be left to figure it out alone. The review process is intentionally designed to connect you with data, advising, marketing, financial aid, and any other unit you need to move your ideas forward.
Meaningful, Supported Improvement - This isn’t a compliance exercise — it’s a chance to create authentic change with the full support of the institution behind you.
