Student Learning, Program Learning, Institutional Learning, and Operational Outcomes are specific observable characteristics developed by faculty and staff that allow them to determine or demonstrate evidence that learning or operational progress has occurred as a result of a specific course, program, activity, or process. The Outcomes Committee will determine a campus-wide process for the uniform implementation and assessment of Outcomes at the course, program, and department level. A Faculty Chair is responsible for chairing the committee and overseeing that the functions of the Outcomes Committee are met.
