Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE)

Upcoming Comprehensive Evaluations

Accredited institutions undergo comprehensive evaluations at least every ten years. In keeping with its Policy on Third Party Comments During Comprehensive Evaluations, the Commission seeks public comment on institutions during the comprehensive evaluation. Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of the institution or its academic programs.  The Commission cannot settle disputes between individuals and institutions, whether those involve students, faculty, administration, or members of other groups. Signed, written comments are forwarded to the institution, which is given an opportunity to respond to the Commission.

The following institutions will undergo comprehensive evaluations in Spring 2009. If you wish to comment on any of these institutions, please contact the Commission in writing by the date indicated.
