WSU Accreditation 2009

WSU Regional Institutional Accreditation

Once every ten years we organize ourselves to review and evaluate the entire institution in a process that takes nearly three years to complete.  We test ourselves against a set of standards that has been developed and revised over time by the membership of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

In preparing the self-study report and visit, WSU will be expected to demonstrate that it meets each standard, each element of the Commission’s Eligibility Requirements and accreditation Standards and Related Policies, and all other applicable policies. The self-study document should be succinct, thoughtful, and analytical including an appraisal of the institution’s strengths, weaknesses, and achievements relative to each standard.
