Institutional Accreditation

Welcome to Cal Poly Humboldt’s accreditation website. Here you will find complete information related to the university’s accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).

Cal Poly Humboldt’s Accreditation Coordinating Committee has been joined by faculty, staff, and students to form the WSCUC 2026 Accreditation Steering Committee. Chaired by AVP and Accreditation Liaison Officer Carmen Bustos-Works, this committee will serve as primary authors of the university’s institutional report and shepherd the Cal Poly Humboldt community through the entire reaffirmation process, from the summer 2025 report submission to the WSCUC team’s fall 2025 offsite review to the team’s spring 2026 campus visit.

Questions & Feedback

If you have questions or feedback for the accreditation steering committee, you can email the chair at accreditation@humboldt.edu.

Please see the Submit Comments page for opportunities to offer your thoughts on the university’s alignment with each accreditation standard.
