The Assessment Reports are collected annually as a university-wide effort to determine to what extent the Pillars for Success, defined by the Lander University Board of Trustees, are being achieved. Academic Programs and Administrative Units across the university identify expected outcomes, assess the extent to which they achieve these outcomes, and provide evidence of improvement based on analysis of the results.

The Assessment cycle follows the Academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer) and assessment reports are due every October 1st for the previous academic year’s assessment. Reports are due in October to coordinate with annual strategic planning and budgeting timelines.

All assessment plans/reports are submitted in Watermark Planning & Self-Study.

The Director of Institutional Effectiveness maintains the Watermark platform and provides support, guidance, training, and consultation for all personnel involved in assessment.
