Assessment of student learning is a shared University responsibility involving faculty, academic leadership, Student Success, assessment coordinators, governance bodies, and OSIE.

Academic assessment is coordinated through the Office of the Associate Provost for Academic Programs, Assessment, and Student Success and the Academic Assessment Coordinator. Cocurricular assessment is supported by the Cocurricular Assessment Coordinator. Faculty and academic programs retain responsibility for establishing learning outcomes, assessing student learning, and using results to improve curriculum and instruction.

OSIE works collaboratively with these offices and roles to connect assessment evidence with institutional accreditation, strategic planning, and continuous improvement. This partnership supports consistent institutional processes, communication, and use of assessment results while recognizing the distinct responsibilities of faculty, academic programs, assessment coordinators, governance bodies, and administrative offices.
