In March 2024 Northern Illinois University will undergo its regular ten-year comprehensive accreditation evaluation by the Higher Learning Commission. This is a rigorous and comprehensive examination of every aspect of the university’s structure and operations through an Assurance Argument and site visit.
The Assurance Argument is a narrative supported by links to evidence files and is being shared with the campus community for review in stages, beginning with:
- Criteria 1: Mission and
- Criteria 2: Integrity: Ethical and Responsible Conduct
Comments on the Assurance Argument and compelling examples that illustrate the ways NIU meets various criteria are invited. If you have such an example to share, please include a URL or attach a document that provides supporting evidence.
View criteria 1 and 2 and provide feedback
If you have questions, please contact Chris McCord (mccord@niu.edu) or Amy Buhrow (abuhrow@niu.edu).
