Dear *|FNAME|*,

Concordia University Irvine, guided by the Great Commission of Christ Jesus and the Lutheran Confessions, empowers students through the liberal arts and professional studies for lives of learning, service and leadership.

Top 8 Reasons why being WASC accredited matters to you:

8. Most widely recognized type of accreditation (Regional Accreditation)

7. Online and distance learning programs held at the same high standards as on-campus     programs

6. Credits and degrees widely accepted in transfer

5. Instructor-led courses

4. The gold standard of college accreditation (highest prestige)

3. Financial Aid offerings

2. Eligibility for all corporate tuition reimbursement plans

1. Degree offerings that employers and recruiters recognize

We know that it’s not easy going back to school as an Adult so it’s important to us that we offer you the best educational experience we can.

How can you make Concordia University Irvine even better?

By making your voice heard. We invite you to share your suggestions on how CUI can improve academically and ask questions about CUI’s plans for the future by using #AskWASC on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Instagram.

We also invite you to come to the live forum being hosted at Concordia University Irvine campus in the Good Shepherd Chapel on Wednesday, March 26 from 4:30-5:30pm. Representatives from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) can hear your suggestions, questions and experiences. Help make Concordia University Irvine a better University by participating in this one-time event!

Sincerely,

The Office of the Provost
