Institutional Response to an Onsite Evaluation Report
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities ensures that an institution that has undergone an on-site evaluation visit has two opportunities to respond in writing to the evaluation report. The first opportunity is to respond to a draft of the evaluation report to correct factual errors before the report is finalized and submitted to the Commission office. Prior to the onset of the evaluation visit, the chief executive officer of the institution is notified in writing of this opportunity.
Additionally, the institution may choose to provide a written response to the content and findings of the final evaluation report. The Commission considers the written response of the institution to the final evaluation report during its formal deliberations of the institution at its regularly scheduled summer or winter meeting. Prior to the Commission meeting the institution’s chief executive officer is notified in writing of this option.
