Comprehensive Quality Review

Comprehensive Quality Review

The Higher Learning Commission has the option to conduct a Comprehensive Quality Review (CQR) in year four of the accreditation cycle to verify institutions meet the Criteria for Accreditation. M State's last CQR was April 23 - 25, 2018.

During the CQR, the peer review team conducted an on-site visit to review the following:

CQR visits may include:

  • Meetings with students, faculty, staff and other key stakeholders to determine if criteria for accreditation are being met and continuous improvement principles are incorporated into daily work and decision making
  • On-site visits to each campus
  • Student opinion surveys

Information that was not available prior to the submission of the Systems Portfolio can also be included in the report. Supplemental documentation (downloads and links) that correspond with Quality Highlights Report can be found in the Evidence Library.
