Every institution of higher learning in the United States undergoes periodic reviews to maintain accreditation and to ensure the quality of the institution. The accrediting body for Illinois Wesleyan University is the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (HLC-NCA).
IWU is scheduled to be reviewed in 2012-13. As part of that review, we will prepare a a self-study report which addresses the five criteria for maintaining accreditation. To prepare this report, a campus-wide committee has been selected to gather data from students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees as well as the community at large. The Self-Study Steering Committee (SSSC) members are:
| James Matthews, Associate Professor of French, Co-Chair | Michael Thompson, Assistant Vice President for Institutional Research, Planning and Evaluation, Co-Chair |
| David Barrett, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Head Women's Soccer Coach | David Bollivar, Associate Professor of Biology |
| Michele Darnell, Associate Dean of Admissions | Jenny Hand, Senior Administrative Assistant, Mellon Center |
| Erick Henderson, Biology Major | Patti Henderson, Senior Administrative Assistant, Provost's Office |
| Nancy Loitz, Professor of Theatre Arts | Jake Mann, Accounting Major |
| Tom McKinney, Trustee | Annorah Moorman, Director of Counseling Services |
| William Munro, Professor of Political Science | Sue Noonan, Senior Office Coordinator, Career Center |
| Karen Schmidt, University Librarian and Professor | Mike Seeborg, Professor of Economics |
| James Sikora, Professor of Sociology |
