Steering committee members host virtual town hall meetings
Campus stakeholders were invited to four virtual town hall meetings in September and early October to discuss the four WSCUC accreditation standards and to solicit feedback from the campus community. The feedback forms can be found here.

Launch of steering committee and campus outreach
The Office of Academic Programs has modified its Accreditation web page to feature a timeline of events that will lead to the submission of Cal Poly Humboldt’s institutional report for reaffirmation of accreditation in June 2025 and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) review team’s campus visit in March-April 2026.
Watch for regular updates here throughout the academic year as event dates and details are solidified and as opportunities emerge to contribute and stay informed.
WSCUC liaison campus visit
WSCUC Vice President and Staff Liaison Maureen Maloney visited the Cal Poly Humboldt campus in late March 2024. After a day of meetings with university leadership, she finished the day by offering a short accreditation orientation before the University Senate.
Dr. Maloney’s visit served to kick off preparations for a series of events and a good deal of hard work across the coming academic year. These efforts will initially peak with the submission of the university’s institutional report for accreditation in June 2025 and later culminate with a review team campus visit spring 2026 and a subsequent decision regarding the reaffirmation of Cal Poly Humboldt’s accreditation.
