March 30-31, 2020, the university had its accreditation reaffirmation virtual peer review visit. In preparation for this review, university faculty and staff members wrote an assurance argument to demonstrate how the university meets the Higher Learning Commission’s five criteria for accreditation.

Students, faculty, and staff of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were given the opportunity to access the draft assurance argument in fall 2019.

The period of public comment on the draft has closed. We appreciate you taking the time to read the assurance argument draft and sharing your feedback. Comments have been reviewed and changes will be made to the assurance argument as needed.

Questions regarding accreditation may be sent to provost@illinois.edu.
