By GAZETTE STAFF Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011

ROCK TOWNSHIP — Blackhawk Technical College is asking for public input as a part of its reaccredidation process.

A team from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools will make an evaluation visit April 25-27. The commission has accredited BTC since 1967.

Blackhawk has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the commission's requirements and criteria for accreditation, for the past 18 months. The evaluation team will gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate, according to a news release.

Members of the public may submit comments to: Public Comment on Blackhawk Technical College, c/o The Higher Learning Commission, 230 South LaSalle St., Suite 7-500, Chicago IL 60604.

Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of the institution or its academic programs. Written, signed comments must be received by April 3. Comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person providing the comments. Comments will not be treated as confidential.
