Assessment Progress Template

What is an Assessment Progress Template (APT)?
The purpose of the template is to provide the most current assessment-related information for each of JMU's academic programs. A separate template is completed for each academic major program offered at JMU.

Why Do We Do Them?
APTs provide a common format for reports for all programs. This makes it easier to share results internally and externally. For example, to quickly learn how JMU programs have used assessment results to improve their programs, one could scan just that section of the reports to provide this information. It is also more cost effective for programs, because once the APT has been completed, in future years, programs need only to revise and update sections of the report.

How to Obtain Assistance with Template Completion:
Program assessment liaisons can seek assistance in completing the template from the Center for Assessment and Research Studies (CARS) and the Program Assessment Support Service (PASS). PASS is a newly developed service center that provides consulting experiences for our advanced Assessment and Measurement Ph.D. Students. You may also directly contact your CARS faculty assessment liaison for assistance. To contact PASS by phone, you may call 568-7962 or programassessment@jmu.edu.
