PUBLIC NOTICE

Quincy College Announcement

Quincy College, Quincy MA 02169, will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit from October 29th to November 1st 2006, by a team representing the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of School and Colleges.

The Commission on Institutions of Higher Education is one of the eight accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Accreditation is voluntary and applies to the institution as a whole. The Commission, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, accredits approximately 200 institutions in the six-state New England area.

Quincy College has been accredited by the Commission since December 4th 1980 and was last reviewed in November 1996 (11.17.96 to 11.20.96). Its accreditation by the New England Association encompasses the entire institution.

For the past two years, Quincy College has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission’s Standards for Accreditations. An evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence to determine that the self-study is thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the institution; following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.

The public is invited to submit comments regarding the institution to:

E-mail: cihe@neasc.org

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of the institution. Comments will not be treated as confidential.

Written, signed comments must be received by November 1st 2006. The Commission cannot guarantee that comments received after the due date will be considered. Comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person providing the comments.

The Commission cannot settle disputes between individuals, and institutions, whether those involve faculty, students, administrators, or members of other groups. Individuals considering submitting complaints against an affiliated institution should request the separate Policy and Procedure for the Consideration of Complaints Made Against Affiliated Institutions from the Commission office.

Welcome to the Quincy College accreditation web page.

Quincy College is scheduled for a comprehensive re-accreditation evaluation by a team representing the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in the fall of 2006. As a part of the re-accreditation process, Quincy College must undertake a self-study, appraising itself and projecting the status in each of the eleven standards.

This gives us an opportunity to evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and prepare for our future. It is important that all constituents of the community take an active role in this assessment. Various committees have been constituted and the self-study process has begun in all eleven standards. This web page will be updated regularly. Please browse the page for additional information and email your comments and suggestions to: accreditation@quincycollege.edu.

Sincerely,

Martha Sue Harris
President
