Assessment Schedule
While the assessment of the Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PLSLOs) is a faculty-driven process, the Assessment Coordinators and the Program Chairs/Coordinators are the parties responsible for monitoring and ensuring the on-time completion of all assessment-related activities. The Assessment Coordinator for each program provides the leadership for the development and submission of the program assessment reports and documents. Program faculty and Assessment Coordinators are assisted by Curriculum Committee, Assessment Committee, and Program Chair/Coordinator.
