Editor’s Note: Updated Nov. 11, 2016
A detailed schedule for the Nov. 14-15 visit by a review team from the Higher Learning Commission is now available.
Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak encouraged faculty and staff to review the schedule and to attend drop-in session and open forums for faculty, staff and student community members. She also asked that those who attend prepare by reviewing, at a minimum, the assurance argument and the compliance work sheet. Those documents, as well as other supporting documents and details about the review team, are available at http://www.uccs.edu/hlc.
If schedule changes are made, Communique will be updated and will serve as the official location for HLC information.
All meetings will take place on the third floor of the University Center. The tentative schedule for the review team is:
