General Information
As part of the NEASC accreditation process, institutions are required to submit Interim Fifth Year Reports. These reports allow institutions to reflect on progress since their last comprehensive review which was 2012 for Fitchburg State. Fitchburg State’s Fifth Year Report is due in January 2017.
To facilitate the work to prepare this report, a 14 member committee was formed in January 2016. This page contains information relevant to the work to prepare this report. Questions and/or comments related to this work and the draft report may be sent to NEASC2016@fitchburgstate.edu.
