“The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) is a consortium of 42 professional associations concerned with the creation and promotion of professional standards for the development, assessment, and improvement of quality student learning, programs, and services.” (https://www.myacpa.org/acpa-and-council-advancement-standards-higher-education-cas)

If the professional organization for your field has developed standards, they may describe them differently.

The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs purchases the CAS standards every time they are updated. They are stored on the DOSA SharePoint website.

The professional organization for your field may have established standards for your area. To find out, you may have to do a web search, reach out to colleagues in your field or your professional organization. Your AVP may also recommend specific standards you should be using.

Please reach out to your AVP.
