Assessment

UT Dallas engages in continuous, integrated, and comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. As a part of these activities, UT Dallas' administrative and academic units identify expected outcomes, assess the extent to which they achieve those outcomes, and provide evidence of improvement based on analysis of the results. This process incorporates a systematic review of the UT Dallas mission, goals, and outcomes in areas such as:

The Assessment Team provides university-wide support to assist the institution's administrative and academic units with demonstrating their institutional effectiveness.

Upcoming Assessment Deadlines

  • October 28, 2024 (Monday)
    • Academic program assessment reports for academic year 2023-2024 and plans for academic year 2024-2025 due
    • Administrative unit reports for academic year 2023-2024 or fiscal year 2024 and plans for 2024-2025 and fiscal year 2025 are due
  • Clarifications on Reports and Plans - Let’s think of a report as two parts. Part A consists of what you plan on doing this year for assessment (fill out the column labeled measure). This is also known as an Assessment Plan. Part B then looks at the past year of what you’ve done for assessment (fill out the columns labeled results and plan along with the summary sections). A full Assessment Report is part A that was filled out last year plus part B that you’re filling out this year. Each year you will hand in Part A from the current school year (Assessment Plan) and part B from the previous school year (making it an Assessment Report).
  • Please contact Drs. Gloria Shenoy (gloria@utdallas.edu) for Academic Assessment or Melissa Ray (Melissa.Ray@utdallas.edu) for Administrative and Academic Support Assessment with any questions or concerns.
