Middle States accreditation is an expression of confidence in an institution's mission and goals, performance, and resources. It attests the judgment of the Commission on Higher Education, based on the results of an internal institutional self-study and in evaluation by a team of outside observers assigned by the Commission, that an institution is guided by well-defined and appropriate goals; that it has established conditions and procedures under which its goals can be realized; that it is accomplishing them substantially; that it is so organized, staffed, and supported that it can be expected to continue to do so; and that it meets the standards of the Commission. Accreditation rests on the integrity with which institutions conduct their educational endeavors and the policies they have established for ensuring their quality.

One of the principles of voluntary accreditation is that no institution accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education will be permitted to go longer than five years without reporting to the Commission or longer than 10 years without an evaluation visit.
