2024 HLC Self Study
On January 7, 2025, the Higher Learning Commission continued UNC’s accreditation, with the next reaffirmation of accreditation in 2034-2035. The HLC’s action culminates a three-year journey of self-reflection and evaluation that involved opportunities for input from the entire campus community.
The HLC’s decision to reaffirm the university’s accreditation was based on the findings of a review team that visited UNC on October 21-22, 2024. Prior to arriving on campus, the team reviewed UNC’s self-study and examined over 600 evidence documents provided by the university. Over 100 UNC faculty, staff, and students contributed to UNC’s self-study preparation and the team’s visit. While at UNC, the team met with over 200 faculty, staff, and students to confirm the information from the self-study report and learn more about the many ways that UNC meets the .
In their report, the team wrote, “Importantly, it was clear to the team that Rowing, Not Drifting 2030 is truly a guiding document that drives action, and not just words on paper.” They also observed, “UNC has demonstrated that ‘students first’ and a quality education are integral to its operations.”
