This is the DRAFT of the Samuel Merritt University WSCUC Interim Report. It responds to the specific recommendations of the peer review teams we had in 2020 for our reaffirmation and in 2021 for our disaffiliation from Sutter Health. These recommendations are found in the introduction to the report.

You are invited to read our draft to make sure we responded clearly and accurately to the recommendations. There is an email link for comments at the bottom and on the right side of this page.

This review period will extend from December 20, 2024 through January 17, 2025.

Here are the two documents (the draft and the rubric the accreditors will use to evaluate it):

• SMU WSCUC Interim Report 2025 - Master Edit
   

• Interim Report Committee Evaluation Worksheet

The next steps are that the Board and SMU leaders will review it, final edits will be made, and it will be submitted in mid-February. We may or may not have a team visit to our campus(es) in the Fall of 2025.

Many thanks for your careful consideration!
