In alignment with SACSCOC expectations, LSU New Orleans is committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement through a systematic, ongoing, and well-documented process for assessing institutional effectiveness in support of its mission. This continuous improvement cycle includes developing assessment plans, establishing expected outcomes and appropriate measures, evaluating the extent to which outcomes are achieved, analyzing assessment findings, and implementing evidence-based improvements to enhance institutional performance and student success.
The assessment framework encompasses academic reporting, administrative reporting, and General Education outcome reporting to provide a comprehensive view of institutional effectiveness.
The assessment framework encompasses academic reporting, administrative reporting, and General Education outcome reporting to provide a comprehensive view of institutional effectiveness.
Academic reporting focuses on the assessment of academic programs, student learning outcomes, and program-level improvements.
Administrative reporting evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of administrative and support units in achieving their goals and contributing to institutional priorities.
General Education outcome reporting assesses student achievement of institution-wide General Education learning outcomes and uses assessment findings to identify opportunities for improvement in the undergraduate educational experience.
Together, these reporting processes provide a coordinated framework for documenting assessment activities, communicating results, identifying areas for improvement, and demonstrating how assessment findings are used to inform planning, decision-making, resource allocation, and continuous improvement across the institution.
