Perhaps the key question to be asked of student services personnel is…..
“Of those students who use the services, is there any effect on their learning, development, academic success or other intended outcomes, particularly when compared to non-users?”

Why SLOs? Standard IIB-WASC
The institution recruits and admits diverse students who are
able to benefit from its programs, consistent with its mission.
Student support services addresses the identified needs of
students and creates a supportive learning environment. The
entire student pathway through the institutional experience is
characterized by a concern for student access, progress,
learning, and success. The institution systematically assesses
student support services using student learning outcomes,
faculty and staff input, and other appropriate measures in
order to improve the effectiveness of these services.

� Affirms our sense of purpose.� Accountability for what we say we do and what
we’re about.� Quantifies our impact as educators and shows a
clear connection with learning.� Vital to our improvement cycle.
