The accreditation process

Stanford is currently undergoing its institutional re-accreditation by WSCUC. The university is participating in the Thematic Pathway for Reaffirmation (TPR), a new process that allows institutions to focus on selected areas for investigation.

Our Report

Stanford's TPR report was submitted in January 2023.

Read the report (sunet authorization required)

In addition to this report, we conducted an extensive review of the university's compliance with the WSCUC Standards. See our Standard of Accreditation pages.

A full list of appendices to the report are available here. 

Next steps 

A review team will visit Stanford to conduct the on-site accreditation visit on March 15-17, 2023.
