Session Topics

Call for Proposal Submission Guidelines:

• All proposals and edits to previously completed proposals must be submitted online no later than 11:59 PM on Friday, March 20, 2020.

• Although March 20, 2020, is the priority deadline to submit proposals for the 2020 Assessment Institute, we realize due to the unusual circumstances and ever-changing developments with the COVID-19 situation, people may need additional time.  If you are unable to submit the proposal online by March 20, 2020, please contact Angela Bergman, at planning@iupui.edu.

• You can submit multiple proposals, but due to limited space not all proposals may be accepted.

• The coordinating/main presenter will receive a confirmation email confirming that the proposal was successfully submitted.

• Preference will be given in the selection process to those proposals that include information about assessment findings and their use to improve student learning and/or institutional processes or services.

• If your proposal is accepted for a presentation at the Institute, presenters and co-presenters are expected to pay registration fees and will need to register for the Institute via the Institute website.

• Status of proposal notifications will be sent via email to the coordinating/main presenter listed on the proposal the week of May 25, 2020.
