These guidelines provide institutions with a framework for assessing the first-year experience on their own campuses. Originally developed by John Gardner in 1990, the Guidelines for Evaluating The First-Year Experience have been revised and updated by the staff of the Pew-funded Policy Center on the First Year of College with input from 65 institutions participating in five regional consortia focused on first-year assessment issues. The Guidelines are now available in two special editions, one focusing on two-year institutions and one focusing on four-year institutions. If you are looking for a way to evaluate the first-year experience on your campus, make the Guidelines your starting point!
