The Open Pathway’s 10-year cycle includes the following institutional reviews:

• Regular Monitoring

  Institutions submit an annual Institutional Update, which is reviewed by HLC to monitor organizational health, comply with certain federal requirements, 和 identify any changes that may require HLC follow up. HLC will also apply change processes as appropriate to planned institutional developments, 和 will monitor institutions through reports, visits 和 other means as it deems appropriate.

• Year 4: Assurance Review

  Institutions complete an Assurance Review to ensure they are continuing to meet HLC’s Criteria for 认证. The institution provides documentation demonstrating how it fulfills each Criterion 和 Core Component. A peer review team evaluates these materials 和 recommends whether the institution should continue in the cycle or whether additional monitoring is required. HLC’s Institutional Actions Council (IAC) reviews 和 takes official action on the recommendation.

• Years 5 - 9: Quality Initiative

  Institutions design 和 undertake a Quality Initiative project. HLC peer reviewers approve an initial project proposal, as well as a report on the outcomes of the project.

• Year 10: Comprehensive Evaluation

  Note: This will occur at the University of Denver in October 2020.

  Institutions undergo a comprehensive evaluation to ensure they are meeting the Criteria for 认证, pursuing institutional improvement 和 complying with certain requirements set by the U.S. Department of Education.

Assurance Argument Goals

HLC conducts an Assurance Review to determine whether an institution continues to meet the Criteria for 认证, every 4 和 10 years. The University of Denver is approaching our 10 year review 和 is currently drafting assurance arguments 和 collecting evidence for our comprehensive evaluation in 2020. The assurance arguments detail how the University is meeting the criteria set forth by HLC, using materials such as websites, 政策, reports 和 more as evidence. The Criteria for 认证 are as follows:

• Criterion 1: Mission
  • The institution’s mission is clear 和 articulated publicly; it guides the institution’s operations.
• Criterion 2: Integrity: Ethical 和 Responsible Conduct
  • The institution acts with integrity; its conduct is ethical 和 responsible.
• Criterion 3: Teaching 和 Learning: Quality, Resources, 和 Support
  • The institution provides high quality education, wherever 和 however its offerings are delivered.
• Criterion 4: Teaching 和 Learning: Evaluation 和 Improvement
  • The institution demonstrates responsibility for the quality of its educational 项目, learning environments, 和 support services, 和 it evaluates their effectiveness for student learning through processes designed to promote continuous improvement.
• Criterion 5: Resources, Planning, 和 Institutional Effectiveness
  • The institution’s resources, 结构, 和 processes are sufficient to fulfill its mission, improve the quality of its educational offerings, 和 respond to future challenges 和 opportunities. The institution plans for the future.

The University will submit both the assurance arguments with an evidence file, using HLC’S online Assurance System in the summer of 2020 after significant consultation with campus stakeholders, 包括教师, 教职员及学生. Prior to DU’s campus visit, a team of peer reviewers evaluates the assurance argument with corresponding evidence to provide a recommendation as to whether the institution meets the Criteria for 认证.

参观结束后, a decision-making body within HLC reviews the University’s materials 和 the recommendation from the peer review team 和 takes official action.
