HLC Assumed Practices
In addition to creating the self-study document, there are other accreditation-related activities required for the year 10 comprehensive review. One of these is demonstrating that Parkland's policies, procedures, and practices adhere to a set of defined minimum expectations HLC calls “Assumed Practices.” These are not mission-driven or open to individual institutional interpretation as the Criteria are—they are expected practices that each institution must demonstrate.
Federal Compliance Program Another requirement of the re-accreditation process is the Federal Compliance Program. Some of the topics addressed in the Federal Compliance Program include credits and program length, student complaints, transfer policies, Title IV, advertising and recruitment, relationships with state entities, and third-party comment. The HLC site visit team will conduct an audit to ensure that Parkland College meets the requirements outlined in the Federal Compliance Program.
