Staying in Good Standing

The U.S. Department of Education requires accrediting agencies that it recognizes to monitor its institutions more often to ensure that institutions having access to federal funds continue to meet accreditation standards. To that end, UHD has started the reaffirmation process for our decennial review. For greater detail on SACSCOC or this process please refer to the Commission's webpage .
