Student Achievement

Evidence of Student Success


Student success includes not only strong retention and degree completion rates, but also high-quality learning. It means that students are prepared for success in their personal, civic, and professional lives, and that they embody the values and behaviors that make their institution distinctive.- WASC 2013 Handbook of Accreditation, p. 31 (CFRs 1.2, 2.7, 2.13)
