This process involves the following steps

• Culturalization and socialization of the model to the entire University community.
• Construction of instruments for different sources. 
• Weighting of factors and characteristics aligned with the Development Plan

Information processing is understood as a series of systematized and interconnected stages, the purpose of which is to obtain a diagnosis of the quality in the institution, based on strengths and weaknesses, in order to design, implement and evaluate quality improvement plans.

Sources and Instruments for Collection 

Sources: The sources to be consulted to obtain information in the institutional self-evaluation process are the following: Directors, Professors, Students, Administrative Staff, Graduates and Employers.

Verification sources or instruments and type of source: The information will be collected through verified sources.: documents, survey, statistical data.

Once the information has been obtained, it is analyzed. The following table is used for this purpose:

Compliance with factors and characteristics

Finally, the institution's quality profile matrix will be obtained, taking into account the following criteria:

Evaluation criteria

The judgment on the quality of the institution is a fundamentally qualitative process and is based on a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of each factor; this aims to ensure that the evaluation is complete and that it also facilitates the detection of overall failures, specific weaknesses and defines the quality profile of the institution.

Once the institution's quality profile or strategic diagnosis is obtained, the relevant processes for each characteristic are prioritized. The Self-Assessment Committee prioritizes these processes and refers them to the structures responsible for their improvement, which analyze, formulate, and select strategies aimed at developing and improving quality. Each structure then develops its respective improvement plan for the aspects within its purview that impact the institution's quality. 

The improvement plans are sent to the Quality Assurance office, where they are compiled into a single document that is then passed to the finance department to allocate the necessary budget for implementation. Finally, after being reviewed by the Planning department, the plan is approved by the Academic Council and the University Governing Board. 

The implementation of the improvement plan will be the responsibility of each department, as established in the plan itself. Monitoring will be carried out annually by the quality assurance office using the designated tool.

The following will be taken into account when monitoring the implementation of the improvement plan:

• That the actions truly tend to satisfy the proposed goal, that is, that the plan maintains its integrity.
• That the content of the proposed actions be preserved, that is, that what must be done in each case be done as planned.
• That what needs to be done is done in the correct sequence.
• That what needs to be done is done on time, that is, in a timely manner.
• Feedback on the results of the implementation of the improvement plan.
