Eight colleges and universities have been chosen to participate in a pilot project designed to create new ways to reflect students’ academic and other performance. The project, led by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and NASPA: Student Affairs Professionals in Higher Education, is funded with nearly $1.3 million from the Lumina Foundation. Eight institutions (see below) that have experimented with competency-based education or other new ways to gauge students’ academic progress have committed to develop new comprehensive student records for some or all of their students.
The eight institutions are:
- Elon University
- Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
- Quinsigamond Community College
- Stanford University
- University of Houston-Downtown
- University of Maryland University College
- University of South Carolina
- University of Wisconsin Colleges and University of Wisconsin-Extension
