description Strategic planning is vital to higher institution viability. Universities face challenges related to academic affairs, scientific knowledge development, programs quality, market tedencies among others, which make necassary to maintain a continuous learning cycle to check, access, modify, redesign, and restructure policies and procedures in order to meet national accredition standards.
