INTRODUCTION
Since 1994, EBI MAP-Works has been dedicated to improving retention, student success, and the
quality of the college student experience. We have empowered over 1,500 college and
universities to impact student development, learning, retention and satisfaction through the MAPWorks student success and retention platforms, and through national benchmarking
assessments for accreditation and continuous improvement. MAP-Works' retention effectiveness
is grounded in theory, research and statistical methods. EBI Benchmarking Assessment programs
are rooted in accreditation and professional standards and in principles of continuous
improvements. MAP-Works and the EBI Benchmarking Assessments are the essential foundation
of an effective assessment and student success initiative.
The Student Affairs Assessment Suite offers ten different nationally-benchmarked assessments,
allowing you to compare the performance of different departments on campus, while providing
their directors with descriptive and prescriptive information on where to focus resources to have
the greatest impact on their programs.
The Campus Recreation Department at the University of Northern Colorado conducted an
assessment of its services, programs, and facilities from Monday, February 10, 2014 through
Sunday, March 9, 2014. The EBI Recreation Services Assessment tool was utilized to acquire
feedback from a portion of the student population.
With the assistance of the University Assessment Office, Campus Recreation created a random
sample of 3,500 students.
At the conclusion of the assessment period, Campus Recreation received a total of 579
respondents for a response rate of 16.5%.
