  • Assistance to faculty or units will be provided by the UAC, the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis, and the Teaching Support Center for assessment-related activities.

  • Assessment instruments will be reviewed for curricular validity by unit faculty in the case of major's assessment, by the general education committee for general education outcomes, and by representatives of the University faculty for institution-wide procedures. Measures of alumni or student satisfaction will be reviewed by the University Assessment Committee or its designee, such as student services.
  • Locally developed assessment instruments will be reviewed by unit faculty, the University Assessment Committee, or the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis for the match between the table of specifications and the outcomes desired.

* Procedures are defined as ways of doing things.
** Fall semester the University Assessment Committee approved the opportunity for self-selection of reporting deadlines. Dates available for selection are May 1, July 1, October 1, or January 31.
