Does the public have access to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reports?
One of the main points of accreditation is to ensure the public that an institution meets certain standards. Prospective students, other educational institutions, and employers may want to examine an educational institution’s accreditation to assure quality educational programming. The HLC posts the names of affiliated institutions on its Web site. It maintains a Statement of Affiliation Status (SAS) and an Organizational Profile (OP) on each affiliated institution, along with a summary of the institution’s official relationship with the HLC. The OP contains information taken from the annual report that each institution provides to the HLC.
