A primary focus of assessment at the University of Saskatchewan is to identify, track, and report on the progress on our strategic goals, quality of our programs/services, and outcomes of our activities.  Establishing metrics and indicators that are clearly defined, measurable, and actionable is essential to understanding where we are achieving results and where opportunities for improvement exist.  As the University of Saskatchewan continues to finalize strategic plans at the institutional and unit levels, Institutional Planning and Assessment is focusing on the alignment of strategies and how progress towards desired outcomes will be measured.  More information will be available here as this work progresses in 2018-2019.  The links below pertain to reports and updates (with performance indicators) relating to previous strategic plans and activities.
