SCHEDULE FOR UNH’S RE-ACCREDITATION TO THE NECHE STANDARDS
October 22, 2023 - October 25, 2023 UNH Campus visits
October, 2023 UNH site visitOn October 22-25, UNH welcomed a NECHE visiting team to all three of our campuses (NECHE is New England Commission of Higher Education). NECHE is one of seven accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. UNH has been accredited by the Commission since 1929. The site team is visit was part of our 10-year accreditation reaffirming process, following our last review in 2013 (and 2018 interim report). For the past 1.5 years, UNH engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation in preparation for this very special visit. |
Reflection and self-study during AY 2022-23
The content of the self-study explores and highlights how we meet each of the NECHE standards and our plans for continuous improvement.
For the development of the 2023 self-study, we created a committee of diverse members from across the university to focus on different aspects of the self-study (list of those on committee). We also invited the entire UNH community to submit information for the self-study (by way of an email blast). Teams were convened throughout AY 2022-23 to work on addressing all of the elements of each standard. Each sub-committee had 2 co-chairs: 1 faculty member and 1 administrator. Information assembled from these teams were used for initial drafts which were shared broadly with the entire UNH community, with opportunity for feedback (in English or Spanish). After continued review and feedback across the community, UNH submitted its 2023 self-study.
