The HLC Accreditation process is spelled out in detail on the HLC website.
Highlands is on what is called the “Standard Pathway.” This calls for a full Self-Study and a comprehensive visit every 10 years. Our last self-study was in 2009, with our most recent visiting to provide additional accreditation information taking place in Fall 2015. It was as a result of this 2015 visit that the HLC identified the Probation Areas that Highlands must address.
For more details about what exactly probation means and the process to remove Highlands from it, consult this section of the HLC website. In short, Highlands will make an assurance filing in November 2017 providing evidence that we have resolved the probation areas. The HLC will visit campus in December 2017 to further inspect this filing. The HLC Board will meet in June 2018 to take final action on the results of the filing and visit.
Wokrgroups
Highlands has put together six working groups of volunteers from administrators, faculty, staff, and students. Five of these groups will be working to write the Assurance Argument, with one criteria for accreditation per group, and the sixth group will be the “Site Visit Team,” helping to organize our HLC visit on November 6th-November 8th 2017.
