WMU is currently working on the components of the comprehensive evaluation process which culminates on April 12-13, 2021 with a remote visit by a peer review team.
The HLC Institutional Actions Council (IAC) reviewed and acted on August 30-31, 2021 to reaffirm WMU's accreditation status. The final report of the University's 2021 Open Pathway Comprehensive evaluation can be found below.

WMU's HLC peer review visit has drawn to a close! The Core Team wishes to thank the hundreds of stakeholders that participated in every phase of this process. Your commitment and dedication to the fulfillment of WMU's mission was clearly evident to all. Your hard work over the past 10 years is impressive and was well-received by our reviewers. The HLC peer review team will now draft their assessment report and provide WMU with the opportunity to review for factual corrections before a final decision is made by the HLC Institutional Actions Council. We expect their report and determination in early fall 2021. Again, thank you all for the countless hours of work, dedication, and determination that have gone into making this valuable process a success!
