Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the\u00a0Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.<\/p>\n

Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.<\/p>\n

Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed to\u00a0the administrative staff\u00a0of the institution. Individuals may also contact:<\/p>\n

Trinity’s most recent comprehensive evaluation began with a campus visit in March 2017. The Commission wrote to President Berger-Sweeney in January 2018 to convey its decision that Trinity be continued in\u00a0accreditation\u200b.<\/a><\/p>\n

In preparation for the visit of the Evaluation Team, members of the Trinity community conducted a two-year process of self-study that culminated in a final report\u200b<\/a>. You may view the Evaluation Team’s report<\/a> and Trinity’s response\u200b.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trinity submitted a progress report<\/a> in January 2019 and the Commission responded\u200b<\/a>\u00a0following its\u00a0 February 2019 meeting.<\/p>\n

In April 2022, Trinity submitted its fifth-year assessment. In June 2022, the Commission issued a letter<\/a> in support of the college’s progress.<\/p>\n

Trinity’s next comprehensive evaluation is scheduled for the spring of 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
