Self-Study Institute (By Invitation Only)

About the Institute
The Self-Study Institute is a two and a half day workshop, sponsored by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, for representatives from institutions within the Middle States region that are designing either their first or their decennial self-study in preparation for review in 2020-2021.

Eligibility
Institutions in the Middle States region that are scheduled for review in the 2020–2021 academic year are invited to send up to four representatives to the 2018 Self-Study Institute. The chair or co-chairs of an institution’s self-study steering committee should be among the representatives at the Institute. If that is not possible, institutions should send the Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO) and people who either will be self-study leaders at some level or will be the ones to identify the self-study leaders.

Preliminary Agenda & Schedule
The 2018 Self-Study Institute will focus on the use of the 2014 Standards for Accreditation in the self-study process, the initial planning stages of the self-study, and preparing for the prep visit. This year’s Self-Study Institute will feature participants from institutions who will share their self-study experiences with the revised Standards. During the Institute, there will be time for your representatives to meet with the MSCHE vice president who serves as liaison to your institution.
