Annual Student Learning Outcomes: 2012-2013
Student Conduct
Divisional Learning Outcome: Student learning outcome #5: Personal Responsibility
Departmental Outcome
Students who are found
responsible for violating a
University policy will understand
how their behavior is affecting
others in the campus community.
Action Steps
Student conduct officers will integrate
conversation into each disciplinary meeting
to focus on the student understanding the
impact that their behaviors have had on
others.
Type of Assessment
The NASCAP national survey will be utilized to
assess whether students indicate that they
understand the effects their behaviors have on
others.
Criteria for Success
This criterion will be successful if UT
Arlington students rate themselves at
or above the national average for
understanding the impact of the
actions on others.
Mid-Year Report: Please consult with your AVP to determine how s/he prefers to receive a mid-year update.
Results of Assessment: Our students ranked themselves slightly above the national average in understanding the impact of their behavior on their campus
community so the criteria for success in this learning outcome was met.
Future Plans for the Learning Outcome: The results from the NASCAP survey though showed that we met the criteria for success were limited in scope as only
48 students completed the survey. As a result I’ve asked the office to reformulate their assessment plans with another tool.

Divisional Learning Outcome: Outcome #1: Practical Competence and/or Outcome #3 Personal Decision Making Skills
Departmental Outcome
Students who are found
responsible for violating a
University policy will learn one or
more skill through the sanctioning
process that will help them avoid
the policy violation again in the
future.
Action Steps
Type of Assessment
Criteria for Success
Sanction tools that focus on making a
change in student behavior through practical
skill development will be utilized as
educational sanctions in the conduct process.
The NASCAP national survey will be utilized to
assess whether students indicate that they have
learned a skill that has helped them avoid making
a similar negative choice again in the future. If
students answer yes they are required to fill in
“What skill have you learned from this process”
This criterion will be successful if 30%
of those who respond to the NASCAP
survey can list a valid skill they learned
through the conduct process.
Additionally a recidivism report will be
run to determine if our students are at
or below a 25% recidivism rate for
similar violations.
Mid-Year Report: Please consult with your AVP to determine how s/he prefers to receive a mid-year update.
Results of Assessment: Our students did not list specific skills as this was an optional field. We did not meet that criteria as a function of the assessment tool’s
limitations in this regard. Our recidivism rates remained below 25% for four year rates…we currently have a 19% recidivism rate which is below the 25%
criteria for success.
Future Plans for the Learning Outcome: The results from the NASCAP survey though showed that we met the criteria for success were limited in scope as only
48 students completed the survey. As a result I’ve asked the office to reformulate their assessment plans with another tool.
