The Institutional Capacity Assessment Tool (ICAT) helps colleges assess capacity and
identify strengths and areas for improvement in light of best practices in seven key
areas: 1) Leadership and Vision; 2) Data and Technology; 3) Equity; 4) Teaching and
Learning; 5) Engagement and Communication; 6) Strategy and Planning; and 7) Policies
and Practices.
The tool provides a structure for stakeholders from all areas of a college to collectively
examine critical elements necessary to support student success.
