ACT resources can serve a variety of other purposes related to institutional advancement.
Creating an inviting institutional climate
Needs assessment surveys from ACT's Evaluation/Survey Services tell you what students want with respect to academic, personal, and career services. You can use this information as a benchmark against which to compare your institution's programs and services.
Opinion surveys give you valuable student feedback about strengths and weaknesses in the delivery of student services.
Measuring and documenting student and alumni outcomes
ACT's outcomes instruments, including surveys and the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency, generate important benefit information you can use in assessing and improving academic programs and student services. You can also highlight these benefits in your recruitment literature.
Preparing for institutional self-studies
Assessment tools from ACT provide a wealth of cognitive and noncognitive data for institutional self-studies, task forces, and accreditation processes.
Enhancing alumni relations
Alumni surveys from ACT's Evaluation/Survey Services promote alumni involvement in the institution, while identifying and reinforcing positive outcomes.
