Academic Accreditation and Assessment

We engage in regular assessment and review processes to uphold quality academics.

Institutional quality assurance provides ongoing projects that monitor, evaluate, and report on university performance and institutional effectiveness. These include policies and procedures, processes, and outcomes related to advancing the University’s mission in education, scholarship, and service.

Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Reaccreditation

UND is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). HLC maintains processes for determining eligibility for accreditation, for achieving candidacy status, for achieving initial accreditation, and for maintaining accreditation.

ACCREDITATION
