Taking a Case-Study Approach to Improving Academic Advising Assessment

(Retired) | Last updated November 19, 2014

Overview

Academic advising is an effective process to improve student success and completion. However, making the connection between advising and retention eludes many administrators who do not have the comprehensive data they need to demonstrate this connection. To comprehensively evaluate the success of academic advising, you must examine:

  • Programmatic outcomes
  • Student learning outcomes
  • Return on investment

Join us online to explore three different methods of evaluating academic advising, as well as the changes that can result based on your assessment. Using a case-study approach, this event will walk you through several different assessment examples to demonstrate how your campus can make a case for improvements in academic advising.
