Assessment

The Office of Student Affairs is committed to the use of assessment tools to gauge and enhance the service we provide to UAA students. Evaluation of our programs allows us to discover the degree to which our efforts are achieving their intended outcome(s). Furthermore, assessment also provides a means for us to hold ourselves and our colleagues accountable for the impact we have on students.

The primary purpose of the Student Affairs Assessment site is to increase our individual and collective ability to conduct assessment surveys and evaluations. Additionally, this site will also provide resources to increase your confidence in assessment, implement an assessment plan from start to finish, and report the findings of your assessment projects.

Continue to visit this site for the latest updates on assessment within Student Affairs and tools as you engage in the assessment process.
