We need your opinions and thoughts as we continue IUP’s work toward reaffirmation of accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend an open forum with the chair of our Middle States Commission Visiting Team, Peter Nwosu, on Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Elkin Hall Great Room. Active and engaged participation from the host institution is very important to the success of this work.
Maintaining ongoing accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education is one of the vitally important ways IUP serves students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the community.
Accreditation is a required step for IUP students to receive federal grants and student loans, facilitates student credit transfer, and can be required for some graduate schools and employees considering IUP graduates. Accreditation also demonstrates external validation that IUP upholds the MSCHE Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation in all respects—academic programs, faculty and staff expertise, campus services, finances, governance, and more.
Light refreshments will be served. No RSVP is required for this session.
We look forward to seeing you on October 15.
