University (2) AQIP Action Projects - progress report due June 30, 2008

Introduction

The Steps in the AQIP cycle include:

(1) Strategy Forum
(2) Annual Updates on Action Projects
(3) Creation/Update of Systems Portfolio
(4) Systems Appraisal
(5) Feedback Report.
(6) North Central/Higher Learning Commission Accrediting Site Visit

This cycle repeats every four years, and the Higher Learning Commission formally re-affirms the institution's accredited status every seven years. Each institution's participation in AQIP is reviewed annually. An institution may return to the standard reaccreditation process at any time but if doing so, must prepare for a complete institutional review within 2 years.
