At the College, assessment:

• Focuses on student learning achievement (planned/unplanned)
• Provides evidence that student achievements are consistently judged in accordance with prescribed learning outcomes
• Is comprehensive and is comprised of a range of evidence of student achievement
• Provides information on student progress and needs, intervention strategies and allocation of resources
