Program learning outcomes (PLOs, or student learning outcomes, SLOs) are promises to our students about the knowledge, skills and abilities one should expect to learn and achieve by graduation. PLOs are the foundation of any assessment plan and most assessment reporting platforms. If the PLOs in the assessment reporting platform do not match those in the current catalog for your program, there are several ways to update the platform but first reach out to the System Administrator for guidance at AAL Assessment
Note: Some discipline or specialized accreditors may use different terminology in place of "learning outcomes", which can be reported on instead of PLOs.
Additional Note: If your program recently updated PLOs and went through all required committee approvals (i.e., department, college, university), wait to update the PLOs in the assessment reporting platform until the year that the updates take effect in the catalog.
