Assessment Committee

The assessment committee is currently working on the formulation and completion of Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) for academic advising first-year students at Weber State University. Through this process, students and academic advisors will have a clear understanding of what students have learned as a result of the academic advising interaction.

Timeline:
