THE Self-Assessment Committee (CPA) of the UNIALFA – Alves Faria University Center is responsible for carrying out the Institution's permanent self-assessment process based on the principles of the National Higher Education Assessment System (SINAES), established by Federal Law No. 10,861, of April 14, 2004. The objective of the self-assessment is to identify the conditions of teaching, research, extension and management, and their strengths and weaknesses, through which it becomes possible to develop improvement actions.

The results presented in the self-assessment process, consolidated in a report, represent an important subsidy for UNIALFA to carry out actions to correct weaknesses and maintain the identified potential, with a view to improving its quality.

The CPA is composed of representatives from various segments of the academic community, seeking in its evaluations a plurality of student, faculty and administrative perceptions. The understanding of self-evaluation is that through dialogicity there is a possibility for greater integration of the UNIALFA community, improvement of human relations and expansion of the quality of higher education. Thus, the purpose of institutional self-evaluation is highlighted as being:

Consolidate UNIALFA’s social, scientific and cultural commitment;
Stimulate the process of self-assessment and self-criticism, as fundamental elements for personal, collective and institutional growth;

Ensure quality in the development of teaching, research and extension;

Implement a continuous institutional evaluation process;

Plan and redirect the Institution’s actions based on institutional self-assessment;

Promote the development of an institutional evaluation culture at UNIALFA;
