Central Lakes College, Brainerd and
Staples, is seeking renewal of accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission,
a division of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools.
Since
1972, accreditation visits by review teams have resulted in sustained
accreditation that ensures student access to education that transfers credits to
baccalaureate institutions. It is seen as a stamp of approval with regard to
grants, loans, and valued certification from
employers. Accredited schools offer instruction from faculty who meet qualifications
and set consistent and high standards for students, as well as policies
supporting student rights. A team of trained consultant
evaluators from HLC will be on the CLC campuses Oct. 29-31 as the concluding
phase of a process last completed in 2002.
