Middle States Accreditation

Update on Reaccreditation

November 15, 2011
The College is now more than half way through the self study process in preparation for reaccreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Our academic programs, campus facilities, support services, and resources have undergone extensive review. The self study report has been drafted and edited with input from the campus community and was shared with the chair of the evaluation team, Dr. David Soltz, President of Bloomsburg University. The College will receive feedback from Dr. Soltz and the report will be edited further before the final manuscript is submitted in February 2012.

Dr. Soltz visited Brockport November 13-15, for a preliminary campus tour, meetings with various groups, and an open forum. His initial response to our draft was very positive and he was impressed with the high level of campus involvement and interest in the Reaccreditation.

The official on-site evaluation visit will take place on April 1-4, 2012. During the April campus visit, members of the Middle States evaluation team will be meeting with faculty, staff and students.

As the reaccreditation process continues and the report is finalized, the Middle States Steering Committee will be verifying data and asking each department or unit to update Web pages and records in preparation for the site visit.
