Student Affairs Assessment

Student Affairs provides student learning opportunities, engagement and development at APSU. The division completes ongoing assessment to examine effectiveness of programs, student learning and improve services and experiences for students. Assessment in the division is coordinated by the director of Student Affairs Programs and Assessment. The director works to develop administrative and student learning outcomes, coordinates and schedules assessment activities, and makes recommendations on assessment related issues. Assessment results are used to improve student experiences, and to support learning and engagement.

Assessment initiatives in the division examine outcomes and results, student and patron needs, student and patron satisfaction, engagement with departments and departmental services and programs, use of facilities, hours of operation, benchmarking and more. Both qualitative and quantitative strategies are used.
