What are UOs?
Unit Outcomes (UOs) describe the measurable experiences, comprehension, skills, and perceptions that students, faculty, staff, or community members will have gained as a result of receiving or participating in services or activities provided by non-instructional service, support, and/or administrative units.
Unit Outcomes Assessment allows faculty and staff to evaluate what and how the unit contributes to the success of students and the College. Unit assessment strategies are intended to encourage conversations about what services the unit offers, how services are provided, how customers will best benefit from the services, and the experiences and perceptions of those served about the skills, knowledge and understanding they have gained as a result of participation in the unit’s activities.
Unit assessments are reported in Annual/Comprehensive Unit Reviews: Program-Unit Review website
