Co-Curricular Assessment Reporting

2025 Co-Curricular Assessment Update

Co-curricular assessment reports will be DUE THIS YEAR on Monday, June 30, 2025. If you are new to assessment or need a refresher on the process, check out our Introduction & Overview video.

If you are unsure of what you are reporting this year, you will find that information in the linked spreadsheet: 2025 Reporting Schedule. Programs utilizing Taskstream for past reporting and scheduled to submit an Update should continue to report via Taskstream. If you are in a Plan year, or would like to opt into restarting your Assessment Cycle because of program, organizational goals, or staffing changes, rather than submitting via Taskstream, you can complete the Plan Template: View and Download Copy of the Plan Template and send to atkaufman@ysu.edu via email by June 30.

Assessment Handbook

Co-Curricular Assessment Handbook: This document is meant to be a resource for those new(er) to assessment activities and a reference to those who have been participating in assessment activities for some time. The Handbook is in two parts; Part 1 explains the steps in the assessment process, including how to write SLOs, select methods, and analyze results. Part 2 outlines the reporting elements here at YSU and also includes guides to using Taskstream to submit reports

Using Taskstream

The Institute for Teaching and Learning transitioned to the Taskstream Assessment Management System in 2018. This online system allows departments to create assessment reports, keep all data and files together, and allows for reflection on the assessment process and reviews. If your department has new staff or would like a training refresher, please book a consult with Alison. Detailed Taskstream guidance can be found in Part 2 of the Co-Curricular Assessment Handbook. These tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for some of the most common actions done in Taskstream. Tutorials come complete with screenshots and helpful tips about the process.
