University Assessment Committee

The Charge of the Committee is to:

  • Consult on assessment processes, gather assessment evidence, and engage faculty and staff in assessment decision-making.
  • Assess ambassador and dean meetings each semester to:
    • Provide up-to-date assessment planning/reporting guidelines, forms, submission processes, timelines, and the process for dropping programs or changing program names.
    • Discuss annual program audit to identify program director, number of students, accuracy of CIP codes, accurate program list and accuracy of information
    • Assess inactive programs (informed by query of students); evaluate the need to drop programs that don’t anticipate future students; promote awareness of add/drop programs and the Substantive Change process.
  • Evaluate peer reviews and approve Student Learning Outcomes to assess feasibility and consistency with University-wide evaluation.
  • Review annual assessment plans to assist with improving reporting content, including requests to add programs, in advance of review by University and Graduate Councils.
  • Support the Office of Institutional Effectiveness to annually collect and aggregate assessment plans, reports and related documents for record-keeping and documentation for future accrediting visits.
  • Recommend systems to ensure reports and documentation are in place for all Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards and Federal Requirements.
