Student Life Cycle Assessment

Departments with responsibility for recruiting new students need to track data in order to understand the needs and interests of potential students. Data collected about enrolled students inform us of student body growth, retention, and graduation. Data gathered from alumni provide information about satisfaction and employment. Current students play two central roles in the assessment plan: (1) they assess various aspects of the University; and (2) they are assessed for learning outcomes. Students offer assessment of the University through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and course evaluations. The results of their assessments provide feedback to the University departments and colleges. Students are assessed through their academic programs to determine the extent to which they meet expected competencies. As noted in the Academic Affairs Assessment Plan, all programs use course-embedded criterion-referenced assessments (CECRAM). Additional assessment methods include licensing examinations and standardized tests.
