Student Affairs Assessment

Learn how you can measure and evaluate the effectiveness of your programs, share the data with other Student Affairs staff, and use that knowledge to improve student services.

Assessment projects help you and your staff:

• Benchmark best practices
• Measure student satisfaction and learning
• Track student participation and evaluate program results
• Focus on your most important program or service needs
• Determine the effectiveness of existing programs
• Share this collected data with other staff
• Create useful models that others can use
• Use assessment results to develop more effective programs and services

See Student Affairs Assessment: Background and Principles for more information.

• Assessment Workshop Series: Strengthen your assessment skill set by attending workshops led by Student Affairs colleagues (workshop materials are also available online after each event).

• Assessment Coalition: All Student Affairs staff members are invited and encouraged to join the coalition.
