UM-Flint Assessment Tools
Watermark Student Learning & Licensure and Planning & Self Study are the software platforms used for assessment at UM-Flint. 

Watermark Student Learning & Licensure is a powerful tool for faculty and student engagement with learning outcomes assessment. Watermark Student Learning & Licensure can be used for data collection from faculty and clinical observers within courses and field experiences, as well as administrative reporting on aggregate data. Students might also complete assignments or build customized eportfolios in the tool. The General Education Program at UM-Flint will use Watermark Student Learning & Licensure to gather data related to the General Education Learning Outcomes (GELOs), and other departments may use the tool for program and accreditation-based assessment.
