Overview

TK20 is the software application that the Office of Institutional Research (OIR) uses for University and Secondary Assessments and Accreditation reports, and, more generally, for internal and external evaluations with regard to student learning outcomes. It is accessed directly via web browser. 

As of June 30, 2022, we no longer use the services of TK20. Our contract with the vendor has expired. CIS has a copy of SPU's TK20 data as of this date although currently it is not readily accessible by end users. 

Tk20 stands for “Technology in Kindergarten through Grade 20.”
