How to Use

This series of risk assessments, created for risk managers to complete with input from other campus offices or functions (as appropriate), will help you evaluate your institution’s practices, policies, and procedures in the broad areas shown. Use them to determine if changes are needed.  

The assessments are designed to facilitate a broad, high-level overview of each topic area, not to function as detailed checklists.  

These assessments need not be done in any particular order, nor does your institution have to complete all of them. Risk managers should select the most relevant assessments for their institution or particular risk review needs. 

Please note that, while the assessments provide space for multiple people to enter comments (additional rows can be created by hovering over an entry and clicking the “+” button on the right), all feedback must be entered using the desktop version of Word (not a browser).
