The Western Association of Schools and Colleges has renewed accreditation for the University of Hawaii at Hilo for seven years, the school announced in a statement Wednesday.
A review team from WASC’s Senior College and University Commission visited the Hilo campus last fall, and recommended to grant UH Hilo accreditation through 2022, with an interim report due in 2017, a mid-cycle review in 2019, and a full review in 2021.
“The visiting WASC team was impressed by the level of commitment and passion exhibited by our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and they commended us on knowing our mission and vision well and in using both to inform what we do,” said UHH Chancellor Don Straney.
