Shape SDSU’s 2025–26 Accreditation Self-Study
All faculty, staff and students are invited to read the university’s self-study and to provide input as part of the current reaccreditation process.
San Diego State University is involved in an important process: reaccreditation through the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
Accreditation ensures SDSU meets rigorous standards for academic quality, student learning and institutional effectiveness, which are all vital to the value of the SDSU degree and the university’s national and global reputation.
“Accreditation reflects who we are as an institution, to include our shared commitment to excellence, impact, and continuous improvement,” said SDSU President Adela de la Torre. “This is an important opportunity to celebrate our progress, recognize our challenges, and identify ways to further strengthen student success.”
In March 2026, a WSCUC peer review team will visit campus to learn how SDSU is living its mission and advancing student success. During the last reaccreditation process, SDSU was recognized for its deep dedication to partnership in student success, major improvements in retention and graduation rates and its success in fundraising, among several other achievements.
This cycle, the WSCUC team will again evaluate how the university’s goals, programs, services and standards sustain the quality and integrity of an SDSU degree. Accreditation also protects access to federal funding and affirms SDSU’s accountability to students and the general public.
Every voice counts. Faculty, staff and students all play a role in telling SDSU’s story, de la Torre said. All are invited to review the self-study and to provide input via the SDSU 2025–26 WSCUC Accreditation Feedback Form. Learn more and get involved at sdsu.edu/wscuc
