North Idaho College board receives letter, plan of action from accrediting agency

A letter from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities outlines steps the college needs to take in order to return to full compliance.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — North Idaho College received a formal notification letter and plan of action from its accrediting agency Friday.

According to NIC, that letter is outlining steps the college needs to take in order to return to full compliance.

In addition, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) will instead have a single Show Cause visit in October 2024 rather than the previously scheduled April and fall visit.

“NWCCU recognizes the good work of the faculty, staff, and administrators throughout this process, but we are approaching the end of the three-year time period for the deficiencies that led to the initial Sanction of Warning to be corrected,” according to the Plan document approved and sent by the NWCCU Board of Commissioners.

The plan is requiring NIC to develop "Teach-Out-Agreements" with other institutions for all its academic programs, which need to be submitted to NWCCU by Aug. 31, 2024. Those agreements reportedly add details to the "Teach-Out" plans that NIC was required to create in 2023.

Other recommendations in the plan include documenting the Board of Trustees' participation in training, providing evidence that the board is following policies and documenting success from the board working with the president to reach its goals.
