Middle States Accreditation Visit

Middle States accreditation team will conduct a virtual site visit of the CUNY GC and University Center, which includes Macaulay Honors College. Below is a message to the community regarding the visit:

This visit is the culminating event in our Middle States reaccreditation process. As many of you know, accreditation is the way the higher education community monitors itself to ensure that a school’s mission and goals, performance, and resources meet certain standards, and that the institution is committed to student success and continuous improvement.

Our site visit team will be chaired by Dr. John “Fritz” Schwaller, who will be accompanied by faculty members and administrators from other colleges and universities.

The team will meet virtually with faculty, students, and staff throughout our six schools. These sessions will provide opportunities to share our successes and reflect on our accomplishments, challenges, and ideas for the future.

We will share more details about the visit with you as the planning proceeds.

To prepare for the visit, we encourage everyone to read the institutional self-study report, particularly the executive summary and conclusion.  You may access it through the CUNY Academic Commons and on the Middle States reaccreditation website. Our Middle State reaccreditation website has additional background and information about this process.

Our deepest thanks go to the faculty, students, and staff who have served on the Middle States steering committee and working groups, contributing vast amounts of time to this important initiative.

We look forward to working with you to ensure the success of the site visit and accreditation process.

With best regards,
