Welcome to The University of Southern Maine Accreditation website.  Every ten years, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) assesses member colleges and universities for accreditation. Every fifth year we are required to undergo a mid-decade update and review. USM’s last review was in 2001, followed by a five year review in 2006. In each of these reviews, we were successful in meeting the requirements established by NEASC.  Goals and challenges identified from those reviews were incorporated into institutional change efforts, providing direction for university development and growth.
