The Program Coordinator Role

Program Coordinators are faculty, instructors, or staff responsible for documenting and submitting annual Assessment Plans and Reports in HelioCampus. The “Program Coordinator” designation refers to system access in HelioCampus and may not reflect an individual’s official job title.

Multiple individuals may be assigned to a program; however, only one person is required to submit the form at each step of the workflow.
