Higher Learning Commission Invites Third-Party Comment

Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit on November 5 - 6, 2012, by a team representing The Higher Learning Commission of North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College has been accredited by the Commission from 2007-present. SCTC's accreditation is at the Associate degree level.

The Higher Learning Commission is one of six accrediting agencies in the United States that provides institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Institutional accreditation evaluates an entire institution and accredits it as a whole. Other agencies provide accreditation for specific programs. Accreditation is voluntary. The Commission accredits approximately 1,100 institutions of higher education in a 19-state region. The commission is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
For the past two years, SCTC has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission’s requirements and criteria for accreditation. The evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the college; following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.

The public is invited to submit comments regarding the college.
