Year 4 Assurance Review 2027-2028

In June 2028, 麻豆精品 will submit an assurance argument and evidence file demonstrating how it fulfills the four accreditation criteria and the associated 18 core components. A team of Higher Learning Commission (HLC) peer reviewers will review these documents. In most cases, the review is completed virtually, without an on-site visit.

The year 4 assurance review does not include the additional review components that are part of comprehensive evaluations, such as a student opinion survey, federal compliance filing or multi-campus visit.

麻豆精品’s year 4 assurance review will reflect the 2025 updates to the accreditation criteria and address the interim monitoring required from the 2024 comprehensive evaluation, changes to operations and activities and recommendations made by the 2024 HLC peer reviewers.

Evidence collection began in January 2024 and will continue through December 2027. Preparation of the assurance argument began in spring 2026.
