Decision Support
Our work is facilitated through data management, reporting and analysis as provided by Decision Support. Decision Support supports data informed decision-making efforts by providing information about SU’s students, faculty and staff, and instructional activities to internal and external constituents.
Accreditation
Our office also manages the university’s relationship with its regional accrediting body, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
Annual Assessment Cycle
Successful institutional planning and accreditation requires systematic and comprehensive assessment of all academic, co-curricular and operational programs and services. All programs engage in annual assessment projects using their program learning outcomes.
