Abstract	A multidimensional program of student assessment that has been used for over 7 years at Ohio University is described. Between 200 and 250 freshman actually participate each year. Various forms of value-added testing, measures of social and academic integration, and alumni outcomes measures are used. The program is unique in that general education requirements have changed during the 7 years of the program, and valuable pre- and post-tests have been conducted. To measure the impact of general education, the American Colleges Testing Program College Outcomes Measures Project instrument is used. The Student Involvement Questionnaire was also used to collect information on academic involvement, social involvement, and students' goals and commitment to the institution. Other components of the assessment system are: the Student Tracking System, which identifies attrition influences; the Student Treatment Study, which identifies student attitudes concerning the university; and placement and alumni studies, including the Alumni Survey. Selected results of these assessment methods are presented, and the uses of the assessment information are also identified. 6 References. (Author/SW)
