Beginning in 2012-13, colleges are asked to submit a report to ACCJC on the status of their work in implementing Student Learning Outcomes and Assessments

ACCJC has implemented procedures to comply with Federal Department of Education Regulations

In order to receive and disburse Federal funds, the regional accrediting agency must verify through accreditation that the College is in compliance with Federal regulations

1266 active courses, 1266 with SLOs = 100% 267 with ongoing assessments = 21%

Programs 172 degree/certificate programs, 172 with SLOs = 100% 102 with ongoing assessments = 59%

Support Service 11 areas, 11 with SLOs = 100% 11 with ongoing assessments = 100%

Courses are mapped to Programs that are mapped to Institutional Outcomes

For Instruction, CurricUNET manages the mapping, data collection and reporting

For Support Areas, a FileMaker tool has been developed

All reports are available on the SLO web page

COURSE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE ALIGNED WITH DEGREE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES.Dynamic mapping in CurrcUNET provides the alignment of Course Learning Outcomes to Program and Institutional Learning Outcomes

Courses within degree and certificate programs align outcomes to confirm all program outcomes are being addressed by the courses

Stand-Alone courses align outcomes with the institutional outcomes
