Past Accreditation
2015 NEASC Interim Fifth-Year Report
Between comprehensive evaluations, institutions are required to submit an interim report, typically in the fifth year of a ten-year evaluation cycle. These reports provide a current overview of the institution and major developments or changes since the previous evaluation. Included is the institution's response to the concerns and recommendations resulting from the last evaluation. The NEASC Commission on Higher Education accepted and commended UMass Dartmouth's Fifth-year Interim Report and highlighted the progress the University had made on key initiatives.
