How to Participate in Accreditation

2014-15 How to Participate in Accreditation

The Office of the Provost coordinates re-accreditation efforts for Loyola University Chicago. The Office has been collaborating with various departments, schools and members of the Loyola community to gather and create evidence which will be provided to the Higher Learning Commission’s (HLC) site visit team to illustrate our continued improvement and commitment to quality. Key personnel involved in the re-accreditation process have met with various stakeholder groups across the University to create awareness and answer questions regarding the evaluation process, and are available to meet with interested groups in advance of the site visit on February 23-24, 2015.
