Goals and Success Indicators

Campuses are required to accomplish the ATI goals listed below. Each ATI goal is supported by a set of success indicators that describe the processes, procedures, and activities that need to be accomplished in order to meet the goal. As changes in technology occur, the success indicators may be modified following consultation with campus executive leadership.

Note: ATI Goals and Success Indicators listed below have been updated based on the March 2021 ATI Memo (pdf), and will become effective for the 2021-22 academic year.Some goals and success indicators have intentionally been omitted as a result of previously established goals or success indicators becoming obsolete. As a result, some success indicators are not numbered sequentially.
