What is the timeline for reaccreditation of the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies (HGSAS)?
Following are key events for this process: • The HGSAS will conduct a thorough self-evaluation of its operations resulting in a formal self-study that we will submit to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). • The self-study process will span winter 2010 through winter 2012. • In December 2011, the HGSAS will submit its self-study to the HLC for evaluation. • A team of consultant-evaluators will make a comprehensive site visit to the HGSAS on February 27, 2012. • The recommendation of the evaluation team for reaccreditation will be presented and considered by the Review Committee of the HLC. • The recommendation of the Review Committee will be presented and acted upon by the Board of Trustees of the HLC. It is this body that actually grants and renews accreditation. • It is expected that the HGSAS will receive official notice of its status in spring 2012.
