CAEL / Key Initiatives / ALFI / ALFI Assessment Toolkit - ISAS

The Institutional Self-Assessment Survey

The Institutional Self-Assessment Survey (ISAS), completed by administrators and faculty, offers a unique opportunity for dialogue across departments about adult learners.

The ISAS scans eight key areas:

  • Institutional Background
  • Mission, Leadership, and Organizational Structure
  • Recruitment and Orientation
  • Tuition and Financial Aid
  • Teaching and Learning
  • Faculty Recruitment and Development
  • Student Services
  • Key Constituencies



The survey challenges you to evaluate issues such as:

  • The scope of undergraduate learning experiences your
    institution frequently employs.
  • Payment methods available to your students that recognize the special circumstances of adult learners.
  • The methods and venues your institution employs to recruit prospective undergraduate students in general and adult learners in particular.


Two easy to administer surveys available

Choose from two paper-based Institutional Self-Assessment Surveys: The Institutional version with 46 items, designed for colleges and universities that enroll adults in general student populations; or the Unit version with 48 items designed for institutions that serve adult learners in a designated unit or school.

To see the Four-Year Version click here.

The Institutional Self-Assessment provides the framework you need to reflectively examine how your resources, structures and practices impact the success of your adult learners.

With the ISAS, you’ll also get benchmarks that compare your institutional responses with other colleges and universities.
