Kokomo, Indiana – The IU Kokomo campus will undergo a comprehensive evaluation this spring from The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

The HLC will review the institution’s ongoing ability to meet the Commission’s Criteria for Accreditation. The HLC accredits and grants membership in the Commission and in the North Central Association to degree-granting educational institutions in the North Central region.
In addition, the public is invited to submit comments regarding the campus in preparation for the evaluation. Comments must be received by March 3, 2009, and address substantive matters related to the quality of IU Kokomo or its academic programs.
