The comments listed above from students served by the Academic Success Center (ASC) are just a few examples of the important learning impacts achieved through academic advising, first-year seminars, student athlete academic services, tutoring, and coaching. To better inform how we can continue effective support, the ASC uses a multifaceted approach for assessing its course work, academic advising, learning support, and academic intervention through the use of questionnaires; student satisfaction surveys; utilization numbers; course, workshop, and presentation evaluations; and informal input from students, faculty, and staff.
The ASC has received very positive and helpful feedback on a number of levels, and this feedback has been grouped in the following categories:
- Student satisfaction
- Retention
- Academic performance
- University Undergraduate Learning Outcomes (UULOs)
Provided subsequently is an assessment report listed by ASC units. The data included in the key areas were garnered throughout the year and provide informative feedback for ASC administrative faculty and staff to seek ever-increasing effectiveness in our programs
