Overview
UCSD is accredited
by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). In order to retain
that status, the campus is periodically reviewed to insure that the educational
standards described in the WASC 2001 Handbook of Accreditation are met.
Reaffirmation of accreditation is a multi-year, self-study process that formally
engages the campus in institution-wide reflection on educational capacity and
performance. It is a rigorous examination of how institutional resources,
structures, and processes are aligned with scholastic outcomes.
Three accreditation committees, the Executive Steering Committee, the
Senate-Administration Advisory Committee, and the Institutional Research
Coordination Committee, lead and coordinate campus accreditation activities and
solicit input from the broader campus community. Faculty, staff, and students
who serve on these committees work together under the guidance of UCSD's
accreditation liaison officer, Mark Appelbaum, to compile and prepare requisite
accreditation documents. The current reaffirmation cycle consists of three major
phases and began in 2004 and will be completed in late 2009.
