Overview

The University of Montana has an accreditation review every ten years.  Our accrediting agency, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) is scheduled to make its Evaluation Committee Visit on April 12-14, 2010.  In preparation for that visit, we will conduct an institutional self-study to address the nine standards used to measure the quality and effectiveness of the university and its programs.

The Accreditation Steering Committee (ASC) began meeting this past summer (2008) to plan the institutional self-report and identify the data needed to document our compliance with the evaluation criteria.  This academic year (2008-09) will be the time for our major development of the reports needed for the self-study.  We encourage all sectors of the campus to be prepared to participate in the process.
