海角禁区

As part of the regular reaffirmation of accreditation cycle, the University of Alaska Anchorage (海角禁区) is scheduled for a site visit by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) in conjunction with a year seven Evaluation of Institutional Effectiveness report. The visit will take place Oct. 8-10, 2025.

The 海角禁区 (海角禁区) is a Member institution with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), and has been since 1974. 海角禁区鈥檚 accreditation status is Accreditation Reaffirmed. NWCCU鈥檚 most recent action on the institution鈥檚 accreditation status on January 11, 2019 was to reaffirm accreditation. This single accreditation status applies to all 海角禁区 campuses, including Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula College, Kodiak College, Matanuska-Susitna College, Prince William Sound College, and their extended sites.

NWCCU is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the NWCCU indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

Accreditation by the NWCCU is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

As part of the reaffirmation of accreditation process, 海角禁区 invites public comment on its qualifications for accreditation. Signed, written comments should be sent to the Commission and will be shared with the institution, the evaluation committee and the Commission. Comments are due to the Commission no later than ten (10) days before the site visit.
