Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) will perform a comprehensive accreditation visit to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ (Ä¢¹½´«Ã½) on April 27-29th, 2022 virtually, via the Zoom meeting platform. The purpose is to evaluate Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s compliance with NWCCU accreditation standards and policies. During the visit, an NWCCU evaluation team will be meeting with students, faculty, staff and the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Board of Directors.
Prior to this evaluation visit, members of the public may provide comment on Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s qualifications for accreditation. To be considered, all comments must be signed and delivered to NWCCU thirty days prior to the visit (March 28, 2022). Comments should be addressed to:

Signed comments are forwarded, as received, to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, the evaluation committee, and NWCCU.
