I invite you to attend one of the forums relevant to you to meet and converse with the WSCUC Visit Team.

Given the significance of WSCUC accreditation to USP, the Vice-Chancellor and President, Prof. Chandra, has encouraged everyone to participate.

All staff can access the WSCUC Institutional Report that was submitted to the Visit Team via the WSCUC website.

A video has been produced that gives an overview of: what WSCUC is; why the University is seeking accreditation from WSCUC; and what this involves.

Further details on WSCUC accreditation can be accessed from the USP WSCUC Accreditation website. Feel free to email on alo(at)usp.ac.fj should you need further details/clarification.

Sincerely,

Professor Richard K. Coll
