COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The fate of North Idaho College is in the hands of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities as the commission deliberates whether NIC will retain accreditation.
NIC President Nick Swayne, board chair Greg McKenzie and several college employees met with the commission Friday in Seattle for a hearing regarding NIC’s accreditation.
The commission will make a decision within 30 days. Possible outcomes could be negative, neutral or positive.
If the college loses accreditation, it may be impossible to regain it.
“I can tell you that the NWCCU basically said, ‘If you lose accreditation, the chances of coming back, the Phoenix plan, is really not a realistic hope,’” Swayne told community members at a public forum in May. “We’d have to figure out some other way of restoring education on this campus.”
