Support Services Assessment
Administrative Support Services and Academic & Student Support areas typically have outcomes that focus on the critical functions, services, and processes that impact the student learning environment with an emphasis on efficiency, quality, and satisfaction. The main goals in the assessment of Administrative Support Services and Academic & Student Support Services are to:
- document what support of learning is taking place by measuring expected outcomes for each support services unit and,
- use the results of assessment activities to improve the student learning environment.
