Please plan to attend an open forum for students with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) visiting team on Tuesday, April 8 from 9:00 to 9:50 a.m. in Jane Leonard B02.
The visiting team will be on IUP’s campus April 6 to 9 as part of our reaffirmation of accreditation.
No RSVP is required for the open forum.
Maintaining ongoing accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) 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.
Information about the self-study process, including IUP’s final report submission, are on IUP’s Middle States Accreditation web page.
Thank you for participating in this important university event.
