Accreditation Committees

The process of reaffirming accreditation for 消消犯 is led by the Office of the Provost. Miami follows the “Open Pathways” option for Reaccreditation, which calls for the ongoing collection of data and the creation of short narratives that are combined into one assurance argument. Each narrative of the assurance argument focuses on one of the core components of each of the five accreditation criteria.

The accreditation process is guided by the University Accreditation and Planning Council, which oversees the process for applying for Reaccreditation, and also makes recommendations for advancing 消消犯's strategic plan in ways that are aligned with the accreditation standards of the Higher Learning Commission.

Because the accreditation process focuses significantly on assessment of 消消犯 learning, the council consults with the University Assessment Fellows Committee on all matters relating to the assessment of 消消犯 learning outcomes. 

University Assessment Fellows Committee

In addition to providing advice on assessment-related criteria for the Reaccreditation process, the University Assessment Fellows Committee provides support for divisional and departmental leaders of assessment and promotes a culture of assessment of 消消犯 learning outcomes at 消消犯 in which data are used to improve the quality of the educational experience.  Toward that end, the committee:
