Students participate in a variety of evaluative activities beginning during the freshman year and extending beyond graduation. Students may be required to take national and locally developed tests and surveys, contribute to portfolios, share ideas in focus groups, respond to interviews, or participate in other ways to improve the education and services provided by the University. Assessments of other aspects of institutional effectiveness are regularly conducted by and through academic and administrative departments.
