Performance Ratings and Definitions
Colorado College uses a five-point scale to rate staff performance and ratings are given quarterly during the months of January, April, July, and October.
An individual's performance rating is expected to move across the scale during different quarters throughout the year. There are a few reasons why an employee's rating would change from quarter to quarter. For example, there are busier times of the year for different departments and their ability to meet expectations could be a greater challenge during those months. Another reason a performance rating might change is to show a marked improvement from one quarter to the next.
