Assessment Planning and Reporting

Welcome to the primary landing page for Planning, an Anthology module. Planning is used to document the assessment efforts from across Clemson University. If you have come here, you are likely completing or reviewing an Annual Assessment Plan for an administrative or academic program/unit. Assessment is an ongoing process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well outcomes and performance expectations are being achieved. The purpose of this page is to help you navigate the Planning platform. This page will be updated annually to reflect changes and happenings related to Planning. For more information about assessment on campus, please visit here. For information regarding the other Anthology modules, such as Baseline and Outcomes, please visit here.

Thank you for all of the hard work you will put into creating and maintain your assessment plan. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out to us here.
