Student Outcomes Assessment Plan: SOAPs
Fresno State SOAP Template
Thre is a common SOAP Template that new programs should use when creating their SOAP and all programs should use when revising their SOAP. If you have any questions about the required elements, you can access a document with a description of each of the required SOAP elements. If you have any additional questions about revising your SOAP or are having difficulty using the template, please contact the Director of Assessment, Dr. Douglas Fraleigh (universityassessment@mail.fresnostate.edu) or your College Assessment Coordinator. Each time you revise or update your SOAP, please send the new version to Dr. Fraleigh as soon as possible so that the current version can be posted on the OIE website. Please also send a copy to your College Assessment Coordinator.
The SOAPs for each program at Fresno State can be accessed below.
