UHWO Drops ‘Concern’ Status

University of Hawaii-West Oahu has received reaccreditation for the next seven years from Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ Senior College and University Commission.

Notice of Concern status, implemented in 2012, was removed.

“Our faculty, staff and students have worked hard to create a student-centered environment at the university, and a culture of assessment and continual improvement,” stated UHWO chancellor Rockne Freitas.

“It was truly a collaborative effort by the entire university to address the commission’s recommendation.”

UHWO is working continually on its source planning and development, strategizing distance education delivery, developing assessment systems and more.
