This process involves a self-study, a campus visit from a team of academics and administrators from other institutions, and a decision on the accreditation status of the institution.
During the self-study process, faculty, staff, students, and administrators collectively reflect on and evaluate how the seven are met. This is captured in a self-study report: a detailed narrative compiling information, evidence-informed analysis, strengths and achievements, and recommendations for continuous improvement. The self-study report is reviewed by a group of peer evaluators who make recommendations.
