“Assessment is a process for the collection and analysis of evidence about the achievement of student learning outcomes used to determine student proficiency and improve or to demonstrate the effectiveness of an educational program or institution” (Lumina Foundation, 2021).

Welcome!

In ongoing collaboration with faculty and administration, the Office of Assessment facilitates the systematic collection, review, and use of assessment data to evaluate the extent of student learning in academic programs and initiatives. We aim to promote a culture of reflective practice and continuous improvement that guides instruction, curricula, and programming decisions and leads to enhanced institutional effectiveness. 

Academic Policy 01.06.003, Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes requires that each individual undergraduate, graduate, professional, and certificate program engage in the assessment of program-level student learning outcomes. 

Academic Policy 01.06.001, Academic and Student Support Services Assessment requires that units providing services that support student and/or faculty success conduct ongoing assessment of unit goals and outcomes.
