CO-CURRICULAR EDUCATIONAL GROWTH

7.A.1 The institution systematically identifies the characteristics and learning needs of the student population, including such constituencies as traditional-aged undergraduates, women students, reentry and older students, student parents, international students, the physically limited and learning disabled, racial and religious minorities, the academically disadvantaged, veterans, and off-campus students such as military students. The institution then makes provision for meeting those identified needs, building an academic community that significantly involves its various populations.
