Things To Do
Work on articles that need cleanup. Create a page for every university and college and add {{infobox University}} for it. See the missing list for those institutions still awaiting articles. Place {{WikiProject Higher education}} on every related talk page. Combat boosterism wherever it appears Ensure all articles, including Featured articles, are consistent with the article guidelines.

Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Higher education! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Universities and College articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Higher education}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Higher education articles by quality, Category:Higher education articles needing attention, and Category:Higher education collaborations. The quality ratings serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

How can I get my article rated?

As a member of the WikiProject Higher education, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the requesting an assessment section below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of WikiProject Higher education is free to add—or change—the rating of an article, but please follow the guidelines.

Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?

Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.

Where can I get more comments about my article?

Contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education who will handle it or assign the issue to someone. You may also list it for a Peer review.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

Relist it as a request or contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.

Aren't the ratings subjective?

Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department, or to contact the Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education directly.

An article's assessment is generated from the class and parameters in the {{WikiProject Higher education}} project banner on its talk page. You can learn the syntax by looking at the talk pages in edit mode and by reading the info below.

This is the rating syntax (ratings and dates are samples, change to what applies to the article in question):

{{WikiProject Higher education}}

• Displays the default banner, showing the project info and only ??? for the quality parameter.

{{WikiProject Higher education|class=FA}}

• All assessed articles should have quality filled in. Leaving the other parameters off does not hurt anything.

{{WikiProject Higher education|class=Start|attention=yes}}

• If an article needs immediate attention, add the attention tag and please leave talk notes as to why. The only valid parameter for this field is "yes". If it does not need attention, leave the parameter off.

{{WikiProject Higher education|class=B|attention=yes|past-selected=[[July]] [[2006]]|collaboration-past=[[April]] [[2006]]}}

• If an article has been the SATM or COTM, these tags get added in this format.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Higher education}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Higher education articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Higher education articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Higher education articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Higher education articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Higher education articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Higher education articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Higher education articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Higher education articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Higher education articles)		List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Higher education pages)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Higher education pages)		Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Higher education pages)		Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class Higher education pages)		FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class Higher education pages)		File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Higher education pages)		Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Higher education pages)		Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Higher education pages)		Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Higher education pages)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Higher education articles)		???

The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

All examples below are as of July 2021. Please note that a B-Class article must include at least one reference.
