DRAFT 2013 Handbook of Accreditation

On February 22, 2013, WASC Commissioners unanimously approved the 2013 Handbook of Accreditation. Final editorial changes are being made to the 2013 Handbook, which will go into effect July 1, 2013. The revised 2013 Handbook codifies WASC’s standards for institutional accreditation and establishes the institutional review process (IRP) that will guide WASC’s efforts for the next several years. You can find the penultimate draft of the 2013 Handbook below. You can find the WASC Accreditation Redesign at a Glance, a companion guide to the 2013 Handbook, here. WASC greatly appreciates all of the comments submitted. They have greatly enhanced the 2013 Handbook. Please contact Jessica Worchel, Project Manager, Accreditation Redesign at jworchel@wascsenior.org with any questions or comments.
