Assessment is the process of measuring students’ learning or achievement. It may include traditional paper and pencil tests of knowledge, performance simulation tests of skills, assessment interviews, clinical evaluations of student performance, and other methods.

Assessment may:

• Occur prior to program admission
• Be used for admission, advanced placement into a program, or remediation
• Occur in the classroom to measure student achievement and assign grades
• Occur upon exit from the program to measure educational outcomes
• Qualify students for graduation
• Occur prior to entering the workforce in an occupation for the purpose of selection, occupational licensing or certification
