Student Success Plan The University of Dayton follows an extensive assessment process that involves all units across campus, both inside and outside of the classroom. Programs at UD support the attainment of university-level learning outcomes, as well as outcomes specific to their individual programs. Evidence of student success is abundant. Listed below are summaries of student success measures, as well as links to complete reports from which the summaries were taken. These student success measures are divided according to the university's overarching learning outcomes.

Accreditations: Assessments of discipline-specific programs are conducted by outside accrediting bodies comprised of experts in the field. These experts outside of UD visit campus; interview faculty, students, staff, and administrators; study UD's background statistics about the programs; and provide feedback based on their observations. A program receiving accreditation is an indication of students succeeding in that program.
