Committee on Outcomes and Assessment

Committee on Outcomes and Assessment

Purpose

The Committee on Outcomes and Assessment (COA) oversees and coordinates Outcomes and Assessment practices for Instruction, Student Services, and Administrative Units at the College level. The Committee is responsible for maintaining the policies and processes that will guide the College through the ongoing process of developing implementing, assessing, and evaluating outcomes and assessments. The Committee promotes campus-wide understanding and integration of outcomes (instructional, student services, and administrative), facilitates campus dialogue to enhance institutional effectiveness, and fosters continuous improvement of the student experience.

We are cancelling all in person committee meetings to keep with social distancing guidelines and the safety of staff. 

We will update this site when the meetings are rescheduled (potentially via Zoom). Dates and times of rescheduled committee meetings are to be determined.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this educational landscape.
