How is a re-accreditation review team selected?
The Higher Learning Commission selects a Peer Review team of trained Consultant Evaluators to visit the University, conduct a comprehensive review, and write a report containing the team’s recommendations. The team will be large enough to conduct a thorough evaluation of the university. In determining the appropriate number of evaluators, the Commission considers such variables as the number of students, degree levels and programs offered, breadth of services provided to students and other constituencies, and number and type of off-campus programs. Matters unique to an institution, such as a special emphasis, may influence the size and expertise of the team. The University will have an opportunity to provide input about proposed team members.
