HLC Reaffirmation of Accreditation

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP - Fort Smith's institutional accreditor is the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

The university has maintained continuous accreditation since March 28, 1973. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP's most recent reaffirmation of accreditation was in August of 2015. The next reaffirmation (comprehensive) will occur during the 2024-2025 academic year.

Preparation is currently underway for this reaffirmation visit. Committees are collecting evidence in support of narratives that demonstrate how Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP meets and exceeds the five criteria for accreditation, assumed practices, and federal compliance requirements.
