UC Davis is preparing for reaffirmation of its accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges' Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) under its Thematic Pathway for Reaffirmation (TPR) standards. This process is available to eligible institutions that have demonstrated consistent evidence of a healthy fiscal condition, strong student achievement indicators, and sustained quality performance.
The two themes UC Davis will be evaluated on are:
- The 2020 Initiative
- Student Success and Equitable Outcomes
