What is the compliance rate of NCA-accredited institutions under the traditional accreditation process?
The NCA’s Higher Learning Commission conducts more than 100 comprehensive evaluation visits and about 70 focused visits (return visits to assure that concerns have been addressed) annually. In about 70 percent of the comprehensive visits and 45 percent of the focused visits, the visiting teams recommend that institutions file additional progress reports, monitoring reports, or contingency reports and/or submit to an additional focused visit.
