As the COVID-19 situation continues to affect our region, the safety of our member institutions, ALOs, volunteer Evaluators, and NWCCU staff is of utmost importance.
Based on the guidance from the United States Department of Education and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and state and county public health departments we will be alerting our institutions via email and other means.
Please check this webpage from time to time for the latest information.
Please send us an email at Info@NWCCU.org if you need additional information.
Thank you and please stay safe and healthy.
