Lane Community College believes that to best serve students, and the community, students who complete course work at the College should possess the skills and knowledge as stated in the published descriptions and student learning outcomes of programs and courses. Assessment is a critical activity that guides institutional effectiveness, provides a vehicle for faculty interchange and professional development, demonstrates accountability, enhances public relations, and justifies public confidence.

The College will implement assessment of student learning outcomes in all curricula, courses, and educational activities. Assessment of student learning outcomes will be ongoing, guide all curricular activities, and be used to improve the teaching and learning process.
