Dear Campus Community,

We are pleased to announce that Cal Poly Humboldt will be preparing for the reaffirmation of its accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) throughout the 2024-25 academic year. WSCUC is an accrediting body that ensures educational quality and effectiveness, promoting institutional transparency, accountability, and excellence. You can learn more about WASC and the process on our website at humboldt.edu/accreditation.

The university WSCUC Steering Committee invites you to participate in this important process by providing feedback and engaging in discussions that will inform the institutional report that we will submit next June. Campus-wide insights will be invaluable as we reflect on how the university fulfills the four WSCUC standards in preparation for telling our unique Humboldt story. 

The committee will be hosting a series of virtual town halls this fall where committee members will provide an overview of the accreditation process and descriptions of the four essays that will constitute most of our report’s content. Please take a look at the town hall topics below and consider attending all that pique your interest.
