Evaluating and Assessing IPAS Projects: Stories from the Field

Session Type:
Professional Development
Integrated planning and advising services (IPAS) provide students, faculty, and staff with information and services (e.g., early alerts, degree planning, progress tracking, and advising and counseling) that help students complete degrees or earn credentials. As more institutions implement IPAS systems, the need to demonstrate effectiveness and provide evidence of the impact of these student success initiatives becomes paramount. This session will provide an overview of IPAS, addresses issues and approaches related to IPAS assessment and evaluation, and offer examples from four grant-funded IPAS institutions.
