Co-Curricular Learning Outcomes

Co-Curricular Learning Outcomes provide a roadmap of experiences and outcomes that will be gained through participation in the university experience. 

The Division of Student Affairs, and its units, provide opportunities for students to develop co-curricular learning in these areas through an intentional, diverse, and robust student experience. The Student Success Milestones also provide a blueprint for students to participate in these meaningful opportunities. Annual assessment reports are developed and submitted as part of the annual university assessment process. 

In addition, Shark Nation Experience Reports are created each year to highlight Student Affairs achievements and improvements.

• 2021-2022 Shark Nation Experience Report
• 2020-2021 Shark Nation Experience Report
• 2019-2020 Shark Nation Experience Report
