Policy Statement

Student learning assessment helps to ensure consistent learning expectations are applied to all programs, courses, general education classes and co-curricular  areas so that continuous improvement can take place. Student learning assessment is an ongoing process aimed at understanding and improving student learning through measurement and changes in assessment, curriculum and pedagogy. At the core of student learning is the desire, College-wide, to understand and improve student learning at all levels of the institution (program, course, general education, and co-curricular levels). The process involves establishing clear learning goals for students and, through established outcomes and structured assessment plans, evaluating student progress toward achieving those goals.
