Accreditation takes into account student achievement, learning, and success, accountability, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. Each institution conducts a self-study and produces progressively more comprehensive reports during each seven-year cycle.
When granted, accreditation is not limited or partial; it applies to the entire institution in operation at the time of the most recent comprehensive evaluation. It indicates that the institution as a whole is substantially achieving its mission and that it meets the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities’ expectations for compliance with the accreditation criteria.
