IAS allows assessment administrators to manage the assessment process.

Step IV: Participants complete the self survey and register their raters online.

Step V: Raters complete online surveys.

Step VI: Monitor survey completion status — Assessment administrators and participants can monitor rater return status through IAS. Assessment administrators can use IAS’s email functions to remind participants to check their status and to follow up with raters, if needed.

Step VII: Request feedback report scoring — Assessment administrators can use IAS to request scoring for one or more participants. CCL will process and ship the requested report(s) within 3 business days. Allow 2 days for shipping. If PDF files are requested, the reports will be sent within 2-3 business days.
