Snow College’s commitment to its mission and goals requires conducting regular evaluations of progress in achieving those goals. A student enrolled at Snow College may be asked to participate in assessment by taking special tests, by allowing the college access to scores on nationally standardized examinations, by completing questionnaires and surveys, and by serving as members of focus groups or other discussion groups designed to obtain information.

Some assessment work requires statistical sampling of the student population, so it is important that students be willing to help with assessment when asked. Students should feel no reluctance about participating in assessment because any information obtained is used solely in the improvement of college instruction at the curricular or programmatic level and in ways that do not reflect individually on the student. The scores will not be part of any student’s official record.
