Reaffirmation of Accreditation
Great Northern University (GNU) is scheduled to host an Evaluation Team from the
Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) February 17-20,
2026. This visit concerns the granting of Reaffirmation of Accreditation.
Constituents and members of the public are invited to submit third-party comments
concerning GNU's qualifications for Reaffirmation of Accreditation. Third-party comments
should be submitted to thirdpartycomments@tracs.org. TRACS will receive third-party
comments on this matter until 14 days before the scheduled Evaluation Team Visit.
TRACS shares third-party comments with members of the Evaluation Team prior to the
visit, but at no time during the review process will third-party comments be shared with
GNU. During its review, the Evaluation Team will consider third-party comments only as
they relate to the TRACS Accreditation Standards.
TRACS is approved by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) as a nationally recognized
institutional accrediting agency and appears on the ED Secretary's List of Approved
Accrediting Agencies, which is provided in the Higher Education Directory. TRACS is also
recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
