What is Digital Measures?

Tarleton State University uses the Digital Measures software package to demonstrate compliance with proper faculty credentials on a course by course basis and faculty are notified by email once per semester to upload their appropriate credentials for course justifications. Digital Measures is also utilized to allow each faculty member to keep a current curriculum vita on file for administration reference, compliance with statutory guidelines and laws, tenure and promotion packet information, community engagement activities, and as needed with regional and national accreditation bodies.

For assistance with access to or use of Digital Measures, please contact Stacy Nichols via email at [email protected] or at 254-968-9598.
