Welcome the NWCCU Peer Evaluator Team

Pacific University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).

On October 8 & 9, 2026, peer evaluators will be on the Forest Grove campus as part of the institution's Mid-Cycle accreditation review. This review is a formative review with a focus on NWCCU Standard 1 and designed to ensure the university remains on track for the Year-7 accreditation evaluation. 

During the visit, the NWCCU peer evaluation team will hold scheduled meetings with various individuals and campus groups. As reviewers move throughout campus, you may also have the opportunity to connect with them directly. Let them know how you and your work have helped students to "think, care, create, and pursue justice in our world!"

For more information and how you can prepare for the visit, see the NWCCU Accreditation Resources webpage.
