Assessment FAQs

Information to support understanding and implementation of the new USask Course-based Assessment of Student Learning Policy, effective Fall 2027

The documents are intended to support understanding and implementation of the University's newly approved Course-based Assessment of Student Learning Policy and the Course Delivery Policy, along with approved procedures for each policy.

The FAQ are audience-specific and focus on practical implications rather than policy interpretation. Additional guidance and support is available from the Gwenna Moss Centre throughout the implementation process.
