Fresno State WSCUC Reaccreditation 2025

Welcome to Fresno State’s reaccreditation website. Our regional accrediting agency is the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) Senior College and University Commission, or WSCUC.  We submitted our self-study to WSCUC on July 30 (available on the Report tab above) and their representatives will visit our campus on October 8-10, 2025.  Accreditation is very important–it certifies the validity of our degrees and it is required for our students to be eligible for federal financial aid.  

Fresno State was selected to participate in the Thematic Pathway for Reaccreditation process, an option only available to high-performing institutions that did well in their previous reaccreditation.  This is a streamlined process under which we can focus on a theme.  Fresno State has selected Flagship of the Central Valley as our theme for reaccreditation.  We will investigate the role of Fresno State as an institution that both uplifts the lives of residents and reshapes every facet of our region through transformative education, research, service, and leadership.     

During the site visit, there will be open meetings with WSCUC representatives scheduled for faculty, staff, and students.  WSCUC will also provide an email option for comments.

Watch this website! As we approach our site visit, this will be the central place where we post information about the site visit schedule and information on how members of the campus community can participate.
