Accreditation
A long-term goal, pursued carefully.
Hemingway University is not accredited and does not grant recognized degrees. Becoming an accredited university is its long-term goal.
Accreditation is an eventual outcome of building real institutional capacity, which will require:
Requirements
- Governance and institutional oversight
- Qualified faculty
- Formal academic policies
- Program learning outcomes and assessment
- Student records and student services
- Evidence of institutional effectiveness
- Financial sustainability
- Formal curricula and credit structures
The institution, and this site, are being designed to remain compatible with those requirements as they develop.
