WASC Accreditation Required Displays

The institution’s continuing ability to attract new students is fundamental to its long-term viability—a central concern of WASC Standards 3 and 4. Changes in overall admissions patterns and yields may signal later changes in maintained enrollments and tuition revenues. They may also indicate changes in the underlying character of the institution’s student body that may bear on its mission. Second, levels of academic preparation or selectivity are related to the institution’s academic mission as noted in Standard 2; changes in these profiles over time may suggest new academic challenges or opportunities in serving students that the institution should be prepared to meet (e.g. CFRs 2.10 and 2.13). Finally, as noted in Standard 1 (CFR 1.5), WASC is concerned with appropriate institutional responses to diversity; therefore, the demographic makeup of an institution’s applicant pool and admissions profiles are of interest.
