As the Spring 2025 semester is coming to a close, we are sharing a friendly reminder that Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO) and Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) assessments are due in one week, on Thursday, May 15, in Watermark's Planning & Self-Study (P&SS) assessment software.
Assigned faculty members working on Written Communication ELO assessments may receive extensions on their assessment reports, as writing coders are working on assessing 150+ papers at the end of the Spring semester.
If faculty need a copy of the ELO templates (like the Reporting-Scoring form or the Closing the Loop form), please refer to the following link:
If faculty would like any assistance with compiling ELO or PLO assessment data into Planning & Self-Study (P&SS), Natalia Zagula from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness is available to provide one-on-one consultations virtually or in person and help faculty finish their reports from start to finish (usually the reports can be completed in about an hour or less).
If faculty members prefer to work independently, the following links will take them to some resources to help them compile their reports:

- How to Input Your Assessment Project into Planning & Self-Study (Video: 7 minutes)

We thank the faculty for their efforts! Your participation in the assessment process truly helps the University of Hartford with its continuous improvement in quality and teaching.
Please feel free to contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) at assess@hartford.edu with any questions!
