Description:

The committee will support the University’s commitment in establishing outcomes assessment to enhance and improve student learning in academic programs. To accomplish this charge, the committee provides oversight, guidelines and resources for program-level implementation of assessment and evaluation activities. The committee reviews programmatic learning outcomes progress and relevant assessment metrics for academic programs and provides feedback where necessary to support a culture of ongoing improvement of quality programs. The committee’s work supports activities pertaining to SACSCOC standards of student achievement (8.2a) and does not supplant the work of existing committees with a targeted role in assessment (e.g., General Education Committee) or the work of discipline-specific accreditation or program review committees. The chairs and/or co-chairs of this committee are responsible for preparing documents and/or presentations for the pre-semester calendar. This committee may convene during August.

Please Note, this committee may meet during the summer.
