Representatives from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges will be on campus in April to conduct an on-site review of the University of Guam.<\/p>\n

This review will help WASC determine the university\u2019s eligibility for accreditation.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the on-site review, the 54th Student Government Association was tasked to form an event binder holding all documents of past events hosted by the 53rd SGA.<\/p>\n

SGA President Jericho Tobias encourages students to voice their concerns in the general sessions held by SGA every Friday at 3:30p.m in the Student Hall.<\/p>\n

Tobias noted that the administration will be sending out an anonymous emails informing students to email WASC their concerns.\u00a0 This will allow students to directly contact WASC representatives.<\/p>\n

Also, SGA encourages students to get involved in events coming up to increase student participation.\u00a0 Events include Blue Night, Charter Day and some community service events.<\/p>\n

Encouraging students to participate in the university\u2019s activities will show great school spirit resulting in better WASC reviews. Students interested in participating in up-coming events should stay updated with the Student Government Association announcements.<\/p>\n

The WASC visit serves as a follow up to UOG\u2019s institutional report, which was submitted in Sept. 2015.<\/p>\n

That report made recommendations on improvements made in the past eight years.<\/p>\n

WASC\u2019s last review occurred in 2008.<\/p>\n

Deborah Leon Guerrero, director of Academic Assessment and Institutional Research, said the report informs WASC of the university\u2019s activities and quality of its students.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a reflection of what we have done over the past eight years,\u201d Leon Guerrero said. \u201cIt\u2019s our story of what we are promoting here at the university.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report includes statistics of enrollment, graduates, events, and financial assistance. Leon Guerrero said in 2008, UOG received eight years of reaffirmation of accreditation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the longest [span of accreditation] the university had ever received,\u201d Leon Guerrero said. \u201cWe do not anticipate losing accreditation.\u201d<\/p>\n
