Westville – The Purdue University North Central Department of Education will host a reaccreditation visit by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in early December.

In preparation for the visit, all interested parties are invited to submit third-party comments to the visiting team. Comments must address substantive matters that are related to the quality of professional education programs offered and should specify the letter-writer's relationship to the institution, such as being a graduate, present or former faculty member or employer of graduates. NCATE will not forward anonymous comments to the accreditation team or to PNC for review.

Written comments should be sent to:

Board of Examiners - NCATE

2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500

Washington, DC 20036-1023

Comments may be sent via e-mail to: callforcomments@ncate.org

Writers should be sure to specify that the comments pertain to Purdue University North Central.

All comments must be received by NCATE no later than Nov. 30. All comments received by NCATE will be submitted to Purdue North Central for response.

All questions about the third-party comments should be directed to Monica Siengo at: msiengo@ncate.org
