How can my program use asessment funds?

The following are examples of how OSU academic programs use assessment funds to support program outcomes assessment. These are valid uses of funds when the academic unit has identified the assessment in their assessment plan, when the data or information from the assessment are reported in annual assessment reports, and when the information is used for curriculum or program development or further development of the assessment program.

  • Reimburse students for standardized exams, licensure exams, certification exams, or graduate record exams. Click here for information on reimbursing students from assessment accounts.
  • Survey expenses (e.g., expenses related to surveys of students, employers, faculty, or alumni)
  • Learning Style Inventory tests
  • Focus group expenses
  • Expenses related to student portfolios, projects, exhibits, performances, or presentations that are used for program assessment
  • Support external reviewers who review student portfolios, projects, exhibits, performances, or presentations
  • Support for student and faculty travel to intercollegiate competitions
  • Support for faculty travel to review students in internships and interview internship supervisors
  • Support for student assistants who conduct assessments, compile and analyze assessment data, assist with developing the academic unit's assessment program, prepare assessment reports, and facilitate the communication of assessment information to faculty members
  • Software directly related to the unit's assessment program and not otherwise available through the university (e.g., software used to prepare electronic portfolios)
  • Equipment directly related to the unit's assessment program (e.g., a digital camera to record student projects)
