William Paterson University Middle States Accreditation Progress Report

The Middle States Accreditation process at William Paterson University is progressing smoothly, with activities including self-study drafting, community feedback, and campus labs utilization for assessment training. The timeline involves drafting three stages, culminating in submission to the MSCHE review team in early spring 2021. Key participants such as visiting team chair Dr. William Fritz and co-chairs Dr. Sandra Hill and Dr. Jonathan Lincoln are leading the efforts towards achieving accreditation standards. The university's commitment to continuous improvement and narrative crafting is evident in the ongoing campus labs training sessions and collaboration with academic and non-academic units.
