Wesleyan University will
undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit September 30 through October
3, 2012, by a team representing the Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and
Colleges.
The Commission on
Institutions of Higher Education is one of seven accrediting
commissions in the United States that provide institutional
accreditation on a regional basis. Accreditation is voluntary and
applies to the institution as a whole. The Commission, which is
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, accredits
approximately 240 institutions in the six-state New England region.
Wesleyan University has
been accredited by the Commission since 1929 and was last reviewed in
2002. Its accreditation by the New England Association encompasses
the entire institution.
For the past year and
half, Wesleyan University has been engaged in a process of
self-study, addressing the Commission’s Standards
of Accreditation. An evaluation team will
visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is
thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a
continuing status for the institution. Following a review process,
the Commission itself will take the final action.
The public is invited to
submit comments regarding the institution to:

individuals and institutions, whether those involve faculty,
students, administrators, or members of other groups. Comments will
not be treated as confidential and must include the name, address,
and telephone number of the person providing the comments.
Public Comments must be
received by October 3, 2012. The Commission cannot guarantee that
comments received after that date will be considered.
