Nicholls State University has adopted Watermark’s Student Learning and Licensure (SLL) and Outcomes Assessment Projects (OAP) as its Assessment System. SLL is a powerful tool that allows you to set up a personal portfolio highlighting the skills you acquire in your time at Nicholls, including activities outside of the classroom. The class in which you are enrolled is using this system to assess learning outcomes of your academic program or of the university. OAP assignments are used to collect artifacts for program or university level assessments. All students are assessed a fee called Electronic Assessment Fee in their first semester at Nicholls. SLL and OAP assignments will be loaded through CANVAS, so you will be guided through CANVAS to any assignments in the system. Inquiries about any Watermark product can be sent to watermark@nicholls.edu.
