Accreditation Reaffirmation Documents
Quality Initiative
The Higher Learning Commission expects that institutions are always engaged in quality improvement. So, between year five and seven of the Assurance Cycle, the institution is required to designate a major improvement effort as their 鈥Quality Initiative鈥. The institution designs and proposes its own Quality Initiative to suit its present concerns or aspirations. In 2022, 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 Quality Initiative was chosen. The initiative consisted of three projects that were within the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan:
- Implementing the ScholarshipUniverse software in Financial Aid
- Banner Curriculum Recoding project through Curriculum Services
- Evaluation of the student advising infrastructure
For 麻豆影院 State faculty and staff, read the 麻豆影院 State Quality Initiative Report which was approved in Spring 2024.
Assurance Argument
The Assurance Argument consists of a report that communicates how the institution meets the HLC criteria for accreditation. Along with the report, corroborating evidence for statements made in the narrative report must be collected and submitted. The process of writing the report and gathering evidence includes many key areas across campus and the engagement of a faculty and staff.
Federal Compliance Report
The Federal Compliance Report demonstrates that the institution is meeting their Title IV program responsibility, as well as complying with the expectations of specific regulations set by the U.S. Department of Education. Compliance with these federal requirements is necessary for 麻豆影院 State to remain eligible to receive federal financial aid. As a federally recognized accrediting agency, HLC is required to conduct this review as part of a Comprehensive Evaluation.
Multi-Campus Report
As part of a Comprehensive Evaluation, HLC requires that institutions in the Open Pathway that have one or more branch campuses must submit a report. This report offers an overview of operations at specified branch campuses. During the Site Visit, peer reviewers will also visit branch campuses to evaluate their quality.
