What is a Student Learning Outcome?
A statement of what you want students to be able to do as a result of participation in programs or activities. (Long, 2007)
“(Learning) outcomes are not knowing, thinking and understanding, but rather a demonstration of knowing, thinking or understanding.” (Learning Reconsidered 2)
• Describes learning desired within a context

What is a GRAD PLUS Loan?
The Grad PLUS loan is new for the 2006-2007 school year. It provides all the consumer friendly features of the Parent PLUS loan product for graduate and professional students. It offers an affordable, fixed interest rate education loan that can be used to finance up to 100% of a graduate or professional education (cost of attendance less any estimated student financial assistance). You may qualify for a Grad PLUS Loan even if your financial assets limit your eligibility for other loans.
Funded by private lenders, guaranteed by the Federal Government and administered by the college or university you attend, the PLUS Loan is one of the most competitive student loan products currently offered to finance a graduate school or professional education.
