HLC Re-Accreditation Open Fora Scheduled
10/14/2020
SLU community members are currently preparing for the University’s next comprehensive, institution-level re-accreditation review from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
As part of the process, in September 2021, SLU will submit its re-accreditation self-study to the HLC, and a team of HLC peer reviewers will come to campus in November 2021 for several days of meetings with students, faculty, staff, leadership and members of the University’s Board of Trustees.
This year, teams of faculty, staff and students are working to document how SLU meets each of the HLC’s Criteria for Accreditation.
Those working to document the University’s work toward meeting the HLC criteria are seeking input as they work, and, as part of the process, they have scheduled several open fora at which students, faculty and staff can ask questions and offer comments about SLU’s compliance with the HLC’s Criteria.
Open Fora Schedule
- Tuesday, Oct. 20, 4 to 5 p.m. (Central Standard Time)
- Wednesday, Oct. 21, noon to 1 p.m. (Central Standard Time)
- Thursday, Oct. 22, 8 to 9 a.m. (Central Standard Time)/ 3 to 4 p.m. (Center European Time/Madrid time zone). This session is designed specifically for the SLU-Madrid campus, but all are welcome to attend.
- Thursday, October 22: 10:00 - 11:00am (Central Standard Time)
These will be Zoom events for which registration is required (so participants can receive the Zoom link).
At any time through June 30, 2021, you can also submit your HLC re-accreditation questions and comments via an anonymous survey, and input is welcomed in whatever manner works best for you.
For any HLC or accreditation-related questions, contact Miriam Joseph, Ph.D., assistant provost, or Steve Sanchez, Ph.D., associate provost.
