The Higher Learning Commission’s Accreditation: Your Voice Matters
A message from Chancellor Charles Bantz
The regional accreditation process allows IUPUI to document that it meets the U.S. Department of Education's standards, which allows our students to qualify for financial aid. Every 10 years, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association (NCA) reviews IUPUI for reaffirmation of accreditation.
Read our NCA 2012 Committee's accreditation self-study, which will be posted in chapters as they become available. And join us for our town hall meetings, listed below. We invite IUPUI faculty, students, and staff to offer observations and suggestions in these open forums. Your collaboration and innovation are critical to our continued excellence.
