As our Middle States Working Groups continue their hard work this semester, you are invited to review the Self-Study Design on the MSCHE Accreditation Processes website. This document will guide the next steps in our re-accreditation process, and extended gratitude to Carrie Bates for writing this document.
Mark your calendars for the Middle States Self-Study Preparation visit on Friday, Oct. 23, 2020. Dr. Paul Starkey, our Middle States Vice President Liaison, will be visiting the campus virtually to learn more about the current status of SUNY Potsdam, discuss our institutional priorities, and assist with our preparations for the self-study and peer review.
An open session for faculty, staff, and students will be held on Friday, Oct. 23 from 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (a Zoom link will be sent that morning). During this session, Paul will explain the accreditation process, including the role each of us plays in the process, and will answer any questions you might have.
As a reminder, retaining our accreditation with Middle States is critical to our campus operations. Among other things, it ensures that credits can transfer to other institutions, students’ degrees are recognized, and that federal financial aid is available to students. Wide campus participation is critical to this process.
