Outcomes & Assessment Committee (OAC)

The Committee is charged with advancing a culture of assessment across the college, and with 
supporting the use of assessment data in continuous improvement processes at the course, program, 
service area, and institutional levels. 

To accomplish this, the committee is responsible for the following: 

1. Maintain outcomes assessment schedules for all instructional programs and student service
areas
2. Inform faculty leaders and relevant administrators of outcomes assessment needs by
instructional program and/or service area
3. Follow up with faculty to ensure on-time and thorough completion of outcomes assessment,
including the dialogue and follow up processes
4. Create and maintain institutional processes for efficient and useful outcomes assessment
5. Manage collection and input of learning outcomes data into the campus management system
6. Facilitate communication about outcomes assessment data to faculty and the campus
community as a whole
7. Consult with faculty members and service area leaders about all aspects of learning outcomes
and assessment, from the creation of outcomes statements, to successful practices for
assessment
8. Host professional development opportunities about outcomes and assessment at the
department, service area and college-wide levels
9. Develop and pilot innovative practices in learning outcomes assessment
10. Support the incorporation of student experience, input and voice in outcomes assessment
Committee members will be responsible for staying up-to-date with the status of outcomes assessment 
in their designated instructional or service area. Committee member liaisons will specifically manage 
communication and support with faculty and service area leaders to support on-time assessment. 
Overall, the committee serves as a channel for communication, planning, institutional dialogue 
regarding continuous quality improvement, and coordination of assessment activities between 
departments and organizational units of Student Services, Instruction and Administrative Services. The 
Outcomes and Assessment Committee is a sub-committee of the Academic Senate, and will regularly 
work with Academic Senate, the Program Review Steering Committee, and the Institutional 
Effectiveness Council.
