Assessing Academic Programs

Each academic department, program or unit in Academic Affairs is required to appoint a faculty or staff member to serve as assessment liaison. Assessment liaisons have the primary reponsibility for coordinating assessment activities and ensuring that assessment data are entered into TracDat, our assessment database program. Assessment liaisons work with their department chairs or program/unit directors to ensure that all assessment activities are completed in a timely and accurate manner.
