University Assessment Committee (UAC)

The University Assessment Committee is a standing committee of the University Academic Senate that supports and promotes program- and unit-level assessment at GVSU. The committee meets in full session every other week during the academic year (Mondays, 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.).  The UAC is responsible for:

        a)  Providing leadership and support to university constituents as they design and implement the five to six year self-study report and every two year student learning outcome assessment plan/report with strategic plan updates based on best practices.

        b)  Reviewing and providing feedback on assessment plans, reports, and self-studies submitted by all academic programs and most service units. Service unit representatives are appointed to serve as the primary reviewer of reports submitted by service units. 

        c)  Providing instructions for reporting formats and schedules.

        d)  Providing feedback to Administration in support of ongoing accreditation standards as set forth by the Higher Learning Commission.

         e) Conducting user training on the on-line system for reporting Assessment reviews/plans and Self-Study updates/reports.

         f)   Maintaining and updating the UAC website, Blackboard site, submission links as needed, and Assessment Report and Self-study (ARSS) automated timeline and notification system (4 month and 2 month notifications).
