Assessment is an ongoing process of administering and reviewing the results of an array of instruments including surveys, objective examinations, essay assignments, and performances, in which students and faculty are asked to participate. SUNY Adirondack is committed to this process of continuous assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness in order to improve the education and student services provided by the college. The process meets the vigorous assessment standards set forth by the State University of New York and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
