Following a rigorous three-stage review process, UCLA’s WSCUC Accreditation was last reaffirmed in 2010. In the Commission Action Letter, UCLA was commended for the “exemplary way in which it has engaged in each stage of the accrediting process.” This page provides the timeline for links to the most important 2010 reaffirmation reports and letters, as well as links to key reports and letters from UCLA’s 1998 WSCUC Reaffirmation of Accreditation Process.

(Please note: UCLA’s 2010 and 1998 reports were prepared within the context of WSCUC Core Commitments and Standards of accreditation that differed from articulations and expectations reflected in the WSCUC 2013 Handbook of Accreditation.)

1998

UCLA chose to undergo the 1998 WSCUC reaffirmation of accreditation process by focusing on three important campus-wide issues:

  1. Diversity
  2. General Education
  3. Performance Indicators

Key correspondence associated with the 1998 WSCUC reaffirmation include:

  • Team Letter: The WSCUC Review Team’s evaluation of UCLA’s Reports and Site Visit.
  • Chancellor’s Response: Chancellor Carnesale’s response to the final report of the WSCUC Review Team.
  • Commission Letters: Final evaluation action letter from the Commission that reaffirms UCLA’s accreditation and a short follow-up letter cancelling the Fifth Year reports.
