Help Highlight MSUM Accomplishments for the HLC Assurance Argument – 3D
In continuing the discussion, Minnesota State Moorhead is preparing for our Higher Learning Commission (HLC) site visit, which will occur in Fall 2027. As part of that preparation, the HLC Coordinating Committee (HLCCC) is collecting evidence and writing the Assurance Argument that will be provided to the visiting team.
Although the HLCCC will do much of the work of identifying accomplishments and collecting evidence, the committee is relatively small. We do not want to overlook achievements from your area, whether they involve faculty, students, staff, alumni, or community members connected to MSUM. To that end, this is the second in a series of messages that will provide opportunities to share accomplishments and evidence related to specific HLC subcriteria.
Support for Student Learning and Resources for Teaching (3D)
This area is about the student support services that we provide, including looking at the needs of our particular student populations. It also includes what teaching resources we provide and what infrastructure is available that impacts student success.
Examples of evidence that may be relevant to this include:
-
Information about computer labs, studio space, clinical sites, scientific labs, or performance spaces, and their role in student success efforts.
Information about the orientation program and FYE programs, including their effectiveness.
Resources provided for faculty related to teaching and learning, pedagogy, or student support.
Resources specific to a particular student audience, such as transfer students.
Information/trainings on how to use AI effectively and ethically in the support of student learning.
Library resources
Survey results about improvements to or the effectiveness of services like accessibility resources, financial aid, advising, career counseling, campus childcare, cocurricular activities, veterans affairs, etc., including modalities.
If you have examples that the HLCCC should consider, please submit them using the Microsoft Form below:

We are working to ensure broad representation across campus and do not want to miss important accomplishments simply because they were not brought to our attention at the right time.
Because of the word limit for the Assurance Argument, we cannot guarantee that every submission will be included. Some subcriteria overlap, so we may also incorporate information that does not fit neatly within this area into a related section.
Thank you for all you do, and please take this opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of yourselves and our students.
