ANNUAL REPORT
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING
(Template)
General Directions:
1. Be as straightforward and succinct as you can in your reporting.
2. Feel free to report if your program has had difficulty creating goals, or
assessments around those goals. Please describe what the issues are
around assessment.
3. The mapping template in section I. can be re-used every year, but should
be reviewed and updated when goals and/or outcomes change,
assessment tools are added and new course are developed.
4. Note that every annual assessment report done during the time covered
for program review can be inserted into your program review in its
annual report form. The program review assessment section will ask for
identical information as the annual report.
5. This report may fulfill annual reporting requirements for your college.
Please check with your Dean.
