WASC Senior College and University Commission 1080 Marina Village Parkway Suite 500 Alameda, CA 94501 Saybrook adheres to the requirements to provide requisite reports to WSCUC and engage in a series of visits to Saybrook by an independent team selected by WSCUC. Saybrook underwent a visit from WSCUC in 2018 and as a result of that visit, WSCUC reaffirmed Saybrook’s accreditation. Links to the officially approved information about Saybrook that is maintained by WSCUC and results of the most recent process, including the Site Visit Team Report and the WSCUC Commission Action Letter, may be found at the bottom of this page. Cognizant of the ever-changing higher education environment, Saybrook leadership is engaged in an ongoing effort to prioritize and address issues identified in the Site Team Report. We will take our cue from the issues listed in the WSCUC Action Letter. This effort is being coordinated with our Strategic Agenda. As the Action Letter below notes, Saybrook’s current re-accreditation period began on May 21, 2018. The university was able to obtain re-accreditation for an additional eight years. A successful special visit took place in November 2021 which confirmed progress in relation to recommendations made during the reaffirmation visit. An interim report was filed in July 2023, which outlined continued progress. WSCUC confirmed the next interaction will be our reaffirmation visit in academic year 2026.
