Resources for Your Journey

Our Nine Standards

Whether you are just beginning to explore accreditation or are preparing for reaffirmation, HEQRB is here to support you.

The Self-Study: Your Cornerstone for Improvement The self-study is a critical part of the accreditation process. It is an institution-wide effort to assess effectiveness and plan for the future. The final document should be a concise narrative (≤150 pages excluding appendices) and must include:

• An Executive Overview & Context.
• An Evidence Map linking to policies, data, and other artifacts.
• Chapters organized in our Nine Standards of Accreditation.
• An Improvement Plan with timelines, owners, and metrics.

Preparing for a Peer Review Visit: The site visit is a collegial process of verification and consultation. The peer review team will be composed of a chair, academic and financial reviewers, and other specialists as needed. They will conduct interviews with all stakeholders, observe classes, and review evidence before providing a report to the Commission.
