Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12
A second assessment tool consists of a survey administered to Hartnell‘s 2011-12 graduating
seniors. (IIA.25, IIA.26) The survey addressed competencies in global awareness, aesthetic
appreciation, and personal growth and responsibility. Further implementation of both tools is
planned for the 2012-13 academic year. The institution will assess all six core competencies
and plan for College wide activities to discuss and respond to the results.

Hartnell‘s Student Learning Outcomes and Program Planning and Assessment Committees
have developed and implemented the means and procedures used to assess course, program,

for course-, program-, and institutional-level SLOs during the 2012-13 academic year.

location.

continues to exist through an endowment administered by the Hartnell College Foundation.
Hartnell offers a federally-funded High School Equivalency Program (HEP) to assist migrant
and seasonal field workers and their immediate family members to obtain their GED.

collaborative programs involving area youth, recent high school graduates, and unemployed
