Regis College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process.
Regis last engaged in the full self-study process for accreditation in 2013; it underwent its five-year review in 2018. In August 2023, Regis will submit its 10-year self-study to the Commission in preparation for an October 2023 site visit. As part of the 10-year self-study process, faculty and staff are leading committees for each of the nine standards required for our Self Study.
In order to gain a broad perspective on Regis’s standing relative to each standard, and as part of the self-study process, we are asking for online feedback from the Regis community related to each standard and the work of the committees thus far. The university will also offer in-person/Zoom forums at a later date to facilitate structured conversations about Regis’s self-study as this process continues.
Below are the descriptions for each NECHE accreditation standard taken directly from their website. Please read the description for each standard and complete the feedback form related to that standard. You are welcome to provide feedback on as many standards as you would like, and responses are anonymous.
Please note that this process is being completed in relation to the Strategic Planning effort, and that the self-study narrative will be reviewed and approved by President Antoinette Hays, PhD, RN and her Cabinet prior to the submission of the final narrative. The information you are asked to review, and the information you provide, is preliminary, not final.
If you have any questions about the NECHE self-study, please reach out to Dr. Kate Edney, Associate Provost of Assessment, Accreditation, and Research, who is leading the Steering Committee as part of this process: kathryn.edney@regiscollege.edu
