Steering Committee
Along with other universities across our region, the University of Northern Iowa is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). As you know, accreditation is vital for our successful operation and requires a campus-wide effort. Among other things, accreditation assures that our students have access to federal funds, including grants and subsidized loans.
