The Annual Assessment Update provides a central reporting of programmatic efforts related to student learning outcomes (SLO) assessment. This report was put on hiatus for academic years 2020 and 2021 to support programs during the initial stages of the pandemic. In 2021, the Faculty Senate sponsored an assessment task force to review the university's assessment practices. The task force identified several areas to streamline the annual assessment reporting. As a result, programs now have three options for completing their annual updates.
