Abstract

Applying tested frameworks is vital to ensure efficiency and efficacy with resources. The Council for the Assessment of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) Standards can be used to develop, implement, and assess programs and services that facilitate student learning, development, and success, and to support accreditation. In this session, participants will explore several ways to use CAS Standards and cross-functional frameworks to enhance program and service delivery. Participants will develop a plan for using CAS Standards in ways that make sense for their diverse functional areas and institutional types.
