The Office of Academic Assessment supports programmatic student learning outcomes assessment across Auburn University’s campus. In order to systematically provide feedback to academic degree programs on their assessment process, the Office of Academic Assessment implements an annual assessment report system that:

1. Articulates quality assessment practice through a “Quality of Assessment Rubric”
2. Provides assessment resources and professional development opportunities.
3. Provides each program with an annual feedback report on the quality of their assessment practices.

Auburn’s Office of Academic Assessment endorses a five-element assessment cycle, which is directly aligned to the Quality of Assessment Rubric and Assessment Report Template (see below) and supports student learning outcome assessment at every phase of the assessment cycle (i.e., outcome creation, curriculum mapping, research design, measurement selection/creation, and using results to improve student learning).

All academic degree program assessment reports are due by July 1st, each year. Reports may be submitted as early as April 18th. Programs may choose to use the Office of Academic Assessment’s Assessment Report Template, though it is not required. Reports should be submitted as word or pdf files to assess1@auburn.edu. The submission process is outlined below. Additionally, you may see our frequently asked questions page.
