University Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Committee

The University Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Committee (USLOAC) oversees the implementation and assessment of student learning in the university’s academic programs. It provides professional development to university faculty by various means including workshops and drop-in sessions to improve assessment proficiency. It also supports academic programs with robust evaluations of assessment plan proposals submitted to the University Curriculum Committee. In addition, it collects annual assessment reports from academic departments, providing them with customized feedback letters made available to the Program Review Panel for periodic program review.

The committee has at least five faculty members elected by the Academic Senate, seeking appropriate graduate and undergraduate faculty and college representation, and additional at-large members to meet the committee’s needs. The committee is chaired by the Faculty Director of Assessment, Academic Affairs, appointed by the Provost based on demonstrated expertise and experience in student learning outcomes assessment and faculty development.

USLOAC regular meetings are held virtually via Zoom on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. during the academic year.

Please contact the Faculty Director of Assessment at Academic Affairs, Dr. Rui Sun  (rsun@csudh.edu), for further information.
