Current Discussion: Year Three Report Draft Writing

> 2012 UCC Accreditation Calendar– Year Three Report & Visit Dates <

Year Three (NWCCU Standard Two) (in progress)

The “Year Three” Accreditation process involves a self-study report on UCC’s facilities and capacity (NWCCU Standard Two) as well as a full team visit in Fall 2012. Because this is the first cycle for the new accreditation standards, this “Year Three” report is due on a compressed timeline following the UCC “Year One” Self-Study Report submitted December 2011.

In order to create opportunities for campus comments on our draft writing while still allowing for the compressed schedule, the UCC Accreditation Committee will be asking authors across the UCC community to assist in writing sections of the report, and as each standard is drafted, we will post the draft here for an open comment period during May — June 2012. (Members of the committee have volunteered to coordinate the draft writing and connect each writer with their draft feedback before the final report is complete– The list of committee writing leads is here.)
