Assessment
The Division of Student Affairs Assessments are completed by a team that includes individual DSA units, who submit plans and reports, which are reviewed by the DSA Assessment Liaison who submits them to University Assessment Committee (UAC). DSA works closely with UAC and UToledo's Office of Assessment, Accreditation and Program Review to make connections to the university, division, and unit strategic plans.
