Sessions set to prepare for reaccreditation visit

Every 10 years the university must be reaccredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The next site visit will be in April 2009.

The university is required to conduct a self-study and demonstrate that it meets a set of criteria for reaccreditation. The process will look back at what has accomplished during the past 10 years and create a vision for the next 10 years.
