Open Sessions with NEASC Reaccreditation Team
As part of the site visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), open sessions will be held for faculty, staff, and students wishing to discuss reaccreditation issues.
The meetings with members of the NEASC external evaluation team will all be held at 4:00pm. The locations of the meetings are as follows:
Faculty: Amherst Room, 1009 Campus Center
Staff: 904 Campus Center
Students: Reading Room, across from the Blue Wall
Once every 10 years, each college and university in the United States must be accredited by one of the regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The process involves a self-study assessing the institution’s current standing and future plans, followed by a site visit by an external evaluation team. University of Vermont President Daniel Mark Fogel is chairing the NEASC visiting team.
The NEASC accreditation standards, as well as the campus’ self study submitted to NEASC, may be found at www.umass.edu/neasc.
