In all activities, whether internal or external, an institution must be faithful to its mission, honor its contracts and commitments, adhere to its policies, and represent itself truthfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Standard III: Design and Delivery of the Student Learning Experience<\/strong><br>An institution provides students with learning experiences that are characterized by rigor and coherence at all program, certificate, and degree levels, regardless of instructional modality. All learning experiences, regardless of modality, program pace\/schedule, level, and setting are consistent with higher education expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Standard IV: Support of the Student Experience<\/strong><br>Across all educational experiences, settings, levels, and instructional modalities, the institution recruits and admits students whose interests, abilities, experiences, and goals are congruent with its mission and educational offerings. The institution commits to student retention, persistence, completion, and success through a coherent and effective support system sustained by qualified professionals, which enhances the quality of the learning environment, contributes to the educational experience, and fosters student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Standard V: Educational Effectiveness Assessment<\/strong><br>Assessment of student learning and achievement demonstrates that the institution\u2019s students have accomplished educational goals consistent with their program of study, degree level, the institution\u2019s mission, and appropriate expectations for institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Standard VI: Planning, Resources, and Institutional Improvement<\/strong><br>The institution\u2019s planning processes, resources, and structures are aligned with each other and are sufficient to fulfill its mission and goals, to continuously assess and improve its programs and services, and to respond effectively to opportunities and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Standard VII: Governance, Leadership, and Administration<\/strong><br>The institution is governed and administered in a manner that allows it to realize its stated mission and goals in a way that effectively benefits the institution, its students, and the other constituencies it serves. Even when supported by or affiliated with a related entity, the institution has education as its primary purpose, and it operates as an academic institution with appropriate autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"FAQs\">Frequently Asked Questions for Middle States Accreditation<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"accordion-group-trocaire flex flex-col items-start w-full py-4 accordion-group-block align\" data-block_4ec59006bec20c1893e210321c0bcbe7>\n            <a href=\"#\" class=\"accordion-toggle w-full bg-trocaire-red flex items-center flex-row mt-4 p-3 font-bold\">\n        <div class=\"w-full pl-3 leading-8\">What is accreditation?<\/div>\n        <i class=\"fas fa-angle-right text-2xl px-2 mt-1\"><\/i>\n      <\/a>\n      <div class=\"w-full pl-6 pr-12 px-2\">\n        <p>\u201cAccreditation is a process of peer review that the educational community has adopted for its self-regulation since early in the 20th century.
