2011-2017 NWCCU Accreditation Cycle
Western assesses its performance against the accreditation standards in self-study reports it submits to NWCCU evaluators over a seven-year accreditation cycle.
The self-studies provide opportunities for the University to assess its success in fulfilling its mission and strategic plan, and to identify areas for improvement. As noted in the timeline below, Western's current accreditation cycle concludes in 2017.
