2026 WSCUC Reaffirmation of Accreditation
Starting in 2024, UCR began the reaffirmation of accreditation process with the creation of a timeline, identification of key units and personnel to participate in the process, and engagement with the Assessment Advisory Committee. The timeline and process were then shared with campus leadership. From fall 2024 through winter 2026, UCR's ALO led the process of obtaining evidence, creating the self-study, and writing the institution report. Throughout this process, materials were shared with the Academic Senate, Staff Assembly, student leaders, faculty, staff, and campus leadership with multiple rounds of feedback.
