Assessment - Individual Learning Profile (ILP)

The Individual Learning Profile (ILP) was developed by the Center for Advancement of Learning to provide in summary form information regarding a student's academic abilities and characteristics of learning. Completed ILP's are strictly confidential and are intended for the exclusive use of Center students in providing information to the Center's consultant staff and Muskingum's faculty. The ILP provides a necessary tool for student self-advocacy.

There are several components of the ILP, each of which has a particular function in student assessment and delivery of academic support.
