UAF is requesting feedback on draft self-evaluation reports being prepared for an institutional accreditation evaluation visit this fall. The deadline for review is May 27 and the reports are available online at http://www.uaf.edu/accreditation/. Draft reports are being added to the website as they become available, so please check back throughout May.

For more than two years, teams from UAF college, research and public service units have assessed UAF to determine if we are fulfilling our mission and meeting the standards set by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Essential elements of our mission were identified as themes: educate, discover, prepare, connect and engage.

Background: A team of evaluators from the NWCCU will visit UAF Oct. 3 – 5, 2011 to collect information relative to UAF's application for reaffirmation of accreditation. For more information on the accreditation process, visit www.uaf.edu/accreditation/.
