What is the Fifth Year Interim Report? 

Following the 2000 reaccreditation Self Study and visit, NEASC renewed Bates College's accreditation until 2010.  NEASC requires that institutions  submit an Interim Report between full accreditation reviews.  This is a normal part of the on-going accreditation cycle.  Institutions are typically asked to use the Interim Report to address any issues that may have been raised by the Visting Team, and to focus attention on issues and goals that may be addressed in the next Self Study.  In the Interim Report, institutions are asked discuss significant changes that have occurred since the last accreditation review, and to update various data elements.
