Assessment Day is November 15
|
USI students who are first-time, full-time freshmen, juniors who started their college career at USI, and seniors majoring in select programs will participate in testing during Assessment Day on Tuesday, November 15. Testing will take place in the Health Professions Center, Education Center, Orr Center, and Liberal Arts Center. Three testing sessions will be offered at 8:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 6 p.m. Students will be notified by mail and/or through e-mail (usieagles.org) as to the time and place of a testing session. Students are required to participate. Students without an excused absence will have a hold placed on their pre-registration privileges, and will register during open registration. “Assessment Day is an important part of USI's ongoing efforts to review academic programs and how students are performing across various majors,” said Linda L.M. Bennett, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “We use the data to measure student performance across programs, and for comparison with students at other universities. “As a public comprehensive university, we are asked for assessment information from legislative offices, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and our regional accrediting body, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Right now we are finishing our Self Study Report to the Higher Learning Commission in preparation for our review by a visiting team from HLC scheduled to be on campus next fall. We appreciate the time students and faculty take to make Assessment Day successful.” Classes are not scheduled for Assessment Day, and there will be no early registration that day. |
