The Board of Curators has supported that directive, and the campus faculty assessment committees have developed UMR's assessment policy in order to implement the directive. UMR Policy 1. All graduating seniors must fulfill the assessment requirements, as determined by the major field department with the office of Academic Assessment and Student Research and the Board of Curator's guidelines, before graduating. All other full-time students must fulfill the assessment requirements as determined by the UMR Office of Academic Assessment and Student Research and consistent with the Board of Curator's guidelines, before registering for further course work. Compliance is important to UMR students, programs, and the entire institution.
Freshmen complete a needs and satisfaction survey.
Students will be notified by the Academic Assessment office, which semester they are expected to fulfill the requirements. Should a student fail to meet the requirements as scheduled, registration for future courses will be withheld. Participation in the assessment program ensures continuous improvement and a quality education for current and future generations of students.
