Higher Learning Commission-North Central Association Self Study

Alva / About Northwestern / HLC-NCA Self Study

Northwestern Oklahoma State University
Self-Study 2014

WELCOME

The process is underway and many individuals at Northwestern are actively preparing for the next Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association accreditation review, which occurs once every 10 years. A consultant-evaluation team will visit Northwestern during the Spring 2014 semester. As we get closer to our evaluation visit, more and more individuals and stake holders will become involved in this very important process. Committees will be comprised of students, faculty, staff, and administrators. All of these individuals will be studying the institution to learn what the university is doing well, areas that can be improved, and how to best plan for our institution's future.

Your feedback and suggestions will be greatly appreciated as the university conducts this self-study. Feel free to contact anyone listed in the directory with your input. You are invited to follow the process as Northwestern continues to learn today to lead tomorrow.
