Higher Learning Commission Accreditation

Oklahoma Panhandle State University is seeking comments from the public as we prepare for our periodic evaluation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), OPSU's regional accrediting agency. The University last received continuing accreditation in February, 2001. A team from HLC will visit campus November 8-10, 2010 to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all of the institution's programs as well as the University's overall policies, practices, and processes. The team will review OPSU's ongoing ability to meet the Commission's requirements for continued accreditation. The public is invited to submit comments regarding the University to this address:
