While the process of improvement is always continuous and ongoing, we only formally evaluate attainment of Outcomes once a year, at the end of each unit's operational cycle. Each university unit determines their own operational timeline. Most campus entities function on either a fiscal or academic year timeline. Fiscal years at FSU start on July 1 and end on June 31. Common academic year timeframes are: 1) Fall and Spring semesters, 2) Fall, Spring, Summer semesters, 3) Summer C, Fall, Spring, Summer A & B semesters.

Please contact us at ipa@fsu.edu with any questions about the assessment and reporting timeline.
