NWCCU Accreditation Update

September 20, 2019

The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) will be visiting the UP campus from October 7 to October 9 to follow up on the self-evaluation report that was submitted this past August as part of the regular reaccreditation process.

As part of their visit, there will be three forums so that students, faculty, and staff can elaborate on the ways in which UP is fulfilling its mission well and where it could improve over the next accreditation cycle. These forums will be held in the Brian Doyle Auditorium of Dundon-Berchtold Hall and are scheduled for the following times:

  • Student Forum: 3:45 to 4:45 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7
  • Staff Forum: 8:50 to 9:50 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 8
  • Faculty Forum: 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 8

To see the report, prepare for the visit, and remind yourselves of some of UP’s many accomplishments over the past seven years, please visit the accreditation website.

If you have any questions, please contact Michael Johnson, institutional research, at johnsomi@up.edu. Thank you for your help with this important process!
