Interim Report

HLC may require an interim report when its goal is to receive specific, important information from the institution, track how the institution is progressing in coping with certain changes or challenges, or receive evidence that the institution’s stated plans have come to fruition. HLC may require an institution to submit the interim report so that it can be reviewed through staff analysis, or HLC may embed the report in a previously scheduled comprehensive evaluation or focused visit.

The successful filing of a report is considered an official HLC action. HLC’s analysis, together with the HLC letter of acceptance, is part of the institution’s official file and is shared with the next peer review team conducting an evaluation. Submit an interim report at hlcommission.org/upload. Select “Interim Report” from the list of submission options to ensure the materials are sent to the correct HLC staff member.

Note: See HLC’s Dues and Fees Schedule for costs associated with an interim report.
