As part of Illinois State University’s reaccreditation process, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) peer review team is coming to campus on October 28-29, 2024.
During their visit, the peer review team will assess our institution’s adherence to HLC criteria and our commitment to our mission. They will interact with various members of our campus community to gain a comprehensive understanding of our operations, achievements, and areas for growth.
HLC’s one-and-a-half-day visit is a crucial part of our institutional accreditation process and requires the engagement and participation of our entire campus community.
