Institutions interested in obtaining WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) accreditation are first reviewed to determine if they are eligible to pursue accreditation. This process, guided by 16 Eligibility Criteria that anticipate the WSCUC Standards, screens the institution to determine whether it is ready to begin the formal process of data collection and institutional reflection required for a WSCUC review.

In order to pursue this process, institutions are required to attend a WSCUC-sponsored workshop that describes the level of readiness expected of the institution at each step as it moves through Eligibility. This workshop is offered annually at the Academic Resource Conference (ARC) generally in April and at other announced times as interest may require.

Because we were not able to host the Annual Resource Conference (ARC) this year, WSCUC will offer the Eligibility workshop as an online webinar on June 30, 2020 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am PDT. WSCUC staff will provide an overview of the process and Eligibility requirements; participants will have a chance to ask questions and offer comments throughout the presentation. If you are planning to seek WSCUC accreditation, or are simply interested in our process, please click on the registration below. The webinar is free.

Contact Maureen A Maloney, WSCUC Vice President, at mmaloney@wscuc.org if you have questions or need additional information.

Thanks for your interest in WSCUC!
