Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in January! When you see them around campus, be sure to give them huge thanks and a high five!

Students, Staff, and Faculty:

Luther Seminary is undergoing a comprehensive review this semester by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The HLC is one of our accrediting bodies. Students will be invited via email on January 7th to participate in an anonymous survey administered by the HLC which will provide specific student feedback to the commission. Staff, faculty and student council leadership will have the opportunity to be interviewed by peer representatives to the HLC during a campus visit on March 4-5.

Should you wish to provide comments to the commission via additional means, we welcome your participation via the link below, which is also being shared with constituents such as donors and board members and being posted publicly to our website.

Luther Seminary is seeking comments from the public regarding the seminary in preparation for its periodic evaluation by its regional accrediting agency. Luther Seminary will host a visit on March 4-5, 2019, from a team of peer reviewers representing the Higher Learning Commission. The team will review the institution’s ongoing ability to meet HLC’s Criteria for Accreditation. Luther Seminary has been accredited by HLC since 1979.

Comments must be in writing and must address substantive matters related to the quality of the institution or its academic programs.

Submit comments to HLC at hlcommission.org/comment or mail them to the address below. All comments must be received by February 4, 2019.
