2012-2013 Reaffirmation of Accreditation

Reaffirmation of Accreditation, 2012-2013

West Virginia Northern Community College has been regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association since 1972.  Every ten years, the institution is required to undergo an evaluation and review of its services and resources in order to maintain its accredited status (called reaffirmation of accreditation).  Since 2009, Northern has been preparing for its reaffirmation by identifying leaders and participants in a self-study process that has led to the development of a comprehensive self-study report, written to the Criteria of Accreditation. 

Northern will undergo an evaluative visit from peer reviewers from March 4-6, 2013.  Before this visit, the self-study report will be provided to the peer review team and include access to electronic versions of evidence to support our claims of meeting the Criteria of Accreditation.
