Assessment Council on Learning Outcomes

The Assessment Council on Learning Outcomes is chaired by the Associate Vice President for Academic Assessment & Accreditation. Each school in the University submits an annual learning outcomes assessment report to the ACLO for review. All of the schools in the University have some assessment body, faculty committee, or a decanal officer with direct responsibility for assessment that prepares the annual learning outcome assessment report for the school. In the larger schools, departments have their own designated assessment committee or officer who prepare reports for the dean responsible for assessment.

Assessment Council on the Student Experience

The Assessment Council on The Student Experience (ACSE) was created in the Spring 2017 term, to coordinate assessment activities across a wide array of university offices that promote and support the student experience at Rutgers. Its members are drawn from the Libraries, from the chancellors’ student affairs offices, and, to the extent necessary, the chancellors’ offices of academic affairs.

The ACSE will create a set of assessment basics in a template format that will provide a superstructure for annual assessment reports by the varied units involved, i.e., Libraries, Student Affairs, Disabilities Services, etc. The first series of reports was submitted to the ACSE by July 1, 2018, following a process very similar to that used by the ACLO.
