Every two years, departments submit a report of their assessment work during that period.  These biennial reports guide the department’s ongoing administration, monitoring, and enhancement of its curricular program, closing the loop between reporting (data) and renovation (redirection). 

These reports are reviewed by the the Assistant Provost for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment who provides a response with guidance and suggestions, and conveys the reports and responses to the Provost and the Institutional Assessment Committee.  A summary of departmental assessment reports is reviewed by the Board of Trustees, whose stewardship requires their confidence in the institution’s sustained and vibrant self-assessment. Departmental assessment reports are also used in institutional assessment and are a vital component in the reaccreditation process.

The assessment of learning outcomes should ideally lead to changes that are meaningful to the department, thereby closing the assessment loop (assessment changes implementation reassessment).

Reports are due by the end of winter term.
