An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.\r\n\r\nAccreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.\r\n\r\nInquiries regarding an institution\u2019s accredited status by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:\r\n\r\nNorthwest Commission on Colleges and Universities,\u00a08060 165th Avenue N.E., Suite 100,\u00a0Redmond, WA 98052\r\n\r\n(425) 558\u20104224\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0www.nwccu.org<\/a>\r\n\r\nAccreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities refers to the institution as a whole. Therefore, statements like \u201cfully accredited\u201d or \u201cthis program is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities\u201d or \u201cthis degree is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities\u201d are incorrect and should not be used.\r\n
