Champion’s Playbook: Preparing Programs for HLC Accreditation Success
(click to view a recording of this session)

As we approach the Higher Learning Commission’s (HLC) accreditation visit in February 2024, the value of collective wisdom and proven strategies becomes critical.

This session is designed to highlight the experiences and successes of champion programs across our university who have led their faculty through outcome revision, course objective revision, alignment of learning activities with assessments, and/or curricular mapping and visualization. With key deadlines set for program outcomes and assessment by June 2024, and curricular mapping by October 2024, the insights shared by these champions will provide practical guidance.

This collaborative forum aims to equip program chairs and faculty with the tools needed to navigate the accreditation landscape. We aim to facilitate a smooth accreditation process and to foster an environment of ongoing improvement and shared achievement in academic program development.

Projected Outcomes:

• Identify the internal deadlines and requirements for HLC Accreditation
• Discuss best practices and next steps with Director of Educational Assessment and academic champions presenting
• Determine next steps for program’s program outcome assessment and curricular mapping.
