The Visit

The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is one of the six regional accrediting bodies in North America and evaluates colleges and universities in nineteen states.  HLC requires colleges to submit self-studies and performs site visits to determine that a college is effective in providing education to its students.  Without accreditation, a college cannot offer its student federal financial aid. 

Touring the Maple Woods, Blue River, and Penn Valley, the site team concluded their visit today and should be filing their positive findings soon. The college spent significant time preparing for the visit and writing the assurance argument. 

Accreditation is incredibly important to a college, but MCC expects to continue to maintain its accreditation as it has since its founding.
