Dear University Community,

Humboldt State University submitted our institutional report for accreditation reaffirmation to the WSCUC Senior College and University Commission's review team on July 19, 2017. A copy of the report is on HSU's WSCUC web site. I am grateful to the many people who contributed to researching and writing of this report, and the result is an important document that articulates our recent history, our current situation, and our future directions.  

Utilizing its quality standards, the WSCUC (previously known simply as WASC) review team will now assess HSU's degree programs, educational quality, student success, quality assurance and improvement, and institutional sustainability and fiscal stability. The review team will also assess how HSU has embraced and implemented previous recommendations. Following that process, the WSCUC review team will discuss the results of its assessment in October and visit HSU on 21-23 March 2018, when the University community will have an opportunity to provide additional information and address questions from the visiting team. I encourage everyone to read the final report and be familiar with its contents so that we can all be thoughtful and reflective participants in the campus visit next March.

You are welcome to provide comments regarding the institutional report to HSU's WSCUC Self-Study Committee using the feedback form on HSU's WSCUC 2017 Institutional Report webpage.

​Sincerely yours,

Lisa A. Rossbacher, Ph.D.
President
