What program(s) you require access to

An account with your credentials will be created and you will be contacted when this is accomplished. 

Access to the retired platform, Taskstream AMS,  is no longer vailable  as of May 2025.

The short answer is, "Maybe".  Programs with specialized/discipline accreditors who require annual reporting specifically on curriculum program learning outcomes (PLOs) are eligible for abbreviated reporting (starting with AY26) while still fulfilling our institutional accreditor assessment expectations. Reporting information such as enrollment, graduation rates or alumni data alone does not qualify. If you think your program is eligible and you have not been contacted, please reach out to IE Assessment.

If a program goes through a name change, the Office of Accreditation, Assessment and Learning will likely NOT create a new program in the assessment platform, but will update the program name, allowing the unit to run reports longitudinally with the same learning outcomes and assessment measures. However, if there are significant changes to program learning outcomes, the old program can be archived and a new program started. 

Program learning outcomes (PLOs, or student learning outcomes, SLOs) are promises to our students about the knowledge, skills and abilities one should expect to learn and achieve by graduation. PLOs are the foundation of any assessment plan and most assessment reporting platforms. If the PLOs in the assessment reporting platform do not match those in the current catalog for your program, there are several ways to update the platform but first reach out to the System Administrator for guidance at IE Assessment 

Note: Some discipline or specialized accreditors may use different terminology in place of  "learning outcomes", which can be reported on instead of PLOs.

Additional Note: If your program recently updated PLOs and went through all required committee approvals (i.e., department, college, university), wait to update the PLOs in the assessment reporting platform until the year that the updates take effect in the catalog.

Although reporting is for program-level assessment, programs are encouraged to select specific courses to report where the learning outcome is "mastered". Undergraduate program major required courses have been uploaded for most academic programs. More courses can only be added by the System Administrator. If more courses are needed, please contact IE Assessment and provide the course prefix, number and title as it appears in the catalog, e.g., UC 10001 Flashes 101

Reports are due by September 30, for the previous academic year. For example, the 2025-2026 AY report is due by September 30, 2026. However, information can be added as soon as an Assessment Plan is available, before the end of the fall semester, unless requested sooner. Also, typically, programs should report with the academic year starting in fall, then spring and ending with any summer assessments.
