Institutional-Level Assessment
Annual Survey
The Annual Academic Assessment Survey captures information about faculty efforts around student learning and program improvement and helps UAA highlight these efforts. The survey also provides information for reporting to the Board of Regents and to UAA's institutional accrediting body, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
