The Division of Student Affairs at UNC Charlotte has adopted the CAS Standards as the framework upon which our internal program review processes are based. The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) develops and promulgates standards that enhance the quality of a students total learning experience in higher education. CAS is a consortium of associations in higher education whose representatives achieve consensus on the nature and application of standards that guide the work of practitioners. CAS derives its authority from the prestige and traditional influence of its member associations and from the consensus of those members in establishing requirements for high-quality practice.
