Standards are agreed upon conditions of educational service that must be provided to achieve the highest level of service to students (Council on the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education, 2007). Standards are essential criteria to define successful professional practice in a given field of expertise, for which tangible evidence can be found to support a program or an individual practitioner's level of attainment.
New standards for Health Promotion Services and for Clinical Health Services with introductory Contextual Statements were approved and included in the 2006 edition of the CAS Book of Professional Standards and Guidelines.
Potential uses of standards include program development, continuous improvement, self-study for accreditation or review, staff development, student development, program planning, program evaluation, and education about student affairs services and programs.
