•  2025 Accreditation Reaffirmation

The Higher Learning Commission will be evaluating ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ during the Site Visit taking place April 14-15, 2025.      

Comprehensive Evaluation

HLC conducts comprehensive evaluations of member institutions in year ten of the Open Pathway accreditation process. For ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ this evaluation will begin in spring 2025 and the site visit will take place on April 14-15, 2025. The purpose of this evaluation is to confirm that the institution meets the Criteria for Accreditation and other HLC requirements, is pursuing institutional improvement, and complies with requirements set by the U.S. Department of Education. 

What Does This Mean for Us?

This comprehensive evaluation will require engagement from the entire university community, including students, faculty, staff, and the Board of Trustees. HLC will evaluate the institution at all levels to ensure that ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ meets the highest standards of quality and that our programs and services meet the expectations of both our students and the broader educational community. In order to have a successful Reaffirmation of Accreditation, HLC will review the institution's accreditation documents, talk to groups of faculty, staff and students and meet with the President and Board of Trustees.
