The provost is responsible for coordinating the university's accreditation process with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Middle States review proceeds on a ten-year cycle that includes a Re-Accreditation Self-Study Visit and a Periodic Review Report. The university completed its last Self-Study Visit in 2002-03 and completed the Periodic Review Report in June, 2008.

At its meeting on November 20, 2008 the Commission acted to accept The New School*s Periodic Review Report, to commend the institution for the quality of its report, and to reaffirm accreditation. The next self-study and evaluation visit is scheduled for 2012-13.

The 2008 Periodic Review Report is available here.

Documentation from the 2002-03 Self-Study is available here.
