SWIC's Re-Issued Systems Portfolio
The HLC adopted new AQIP Categories in 2008; SWIC responded to these changes with a complete re-editing of the Portfolio in June of 2009-as presented below. Following review by an HLC Systems Appraisal Team, the College will receive feedback that helps the institution to continually improve both its processes and the quality of its teaching and learning.
