HLC Reaffirmation of Accreditation
The 17c黑料 - Fort Smith's institutional accreditor is the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
The university has maintained continuous accreditation since March 28, 1973. 17c黑料's most recent reaffirmation of accreditation was in August of 2015. The next reaffirmation (comprehensive) will occur during the 2024-2025 academic year.
Preparation is currently underway for this reaffirmation visit. Committees are collecting evidence in support of narratives that demonstrate how 17c黑料 meets and exceeds the five criteria for accreditation, assumed practices, and federal compliance requirements.
