The intended outcomes for the self-study describe what Temple aims to achieve through the self-study and reaccreditation process. Temple has established five intended outcomes for its self-study:

1. Demonstrate how the institution currently meets the Commission's Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation and provides evidence by Standard in alignment with the Evidence Expectations by Standard.
    
2. Leverage periodic assessment through each standard, using assessment results for continuous improvement and innovation to ensure levels of quality for constituents and the attainment of the institution's priorities, mission, and goals.
    
3. Engage the institutional community in an inclusive and transparent self-appraisal process, including analysis of a range of data, to ensure students are appropriately served and institutional mission and goals are met.
    
4. Ensure the reaccreditation process enhances the university’s strategic planning by highlighting existing strengths and areas for improvement while acknowledging contemporary challenges for higher education.
    
5. Share Temple’s story in a way that highlights our ongoing commitment to the university’s mission and to the communities we serve.
