UNL high school course
receives full accreditation
There is no football team, no school
band or even a fight song, but the UNL
Division of Continuing Studies Indepen
dent Study High School has become a ful
ly accredited member of an organization of
4,500 schools in 19 states.
The North Central Association of Col
leges and Schools gave its first accredita
tion of a university-based independent
study high school to the UNL program last
week.
The NCA is the nation's largest regional
accrediting association.
"Accreditation by the NCA means the
school has met the rigorous standards set
for members," said Quentin Gessner, dean
of continuing studies. Gessner said the
4,500 member schools of the Commission
on Schools sets standards for the NCA.
"The standards signify that the school
has the resources, personnel and leadership
necessary as preconditions for effective
education," Gessner said.
The high school has around 1 2,500 stu
dents enrolled, an average of 125 students
graduate each year, according to Jim Aug
ustyn, a continuing studies counselor. He
said most diplomas are issued to overseas
students.
The school serves students in 49 states
and 130 foreign countries, making it the
largest university-based independent study
high school in the United States.
Independent Study Director Monty Mc
Mahon said 50 percent of the enrollments
are outside Nebraska and another 40 per
cent are overseas.
NCA accreditation must be renewed
each year, McMahon said.
"Continuation within the NCA requires
an effort by the university to make certain
that the potentiality for quality education
remains unimpaired, "McMahon said. NCA
membership assures the individuals served
through independent study that the school
has met those standards which good
schools consider imperative for effective
education.
The school has been able to issue a Class
A diploma to students meeting graduation
requirements since 1967, when the Ne.as
ka State Department of Education first
granted accreditation.
The school holds no graduation cere
money, but its graduates are now recog
nized as having completed a qualified high
school program.

UNL alumni reunion planned
UNL alumni will be back on campus
Friday and Saturday for the annual uni
versity reunion.
Jack Miller, vice-president of the Alum
ni Association, said invitations have been
mailed to classes of 50, 40 and 25 years
ago and to all people who graduated more
than 50 years ago.
All alumni that come back pay their
own way, so graduates of any class can
attend, he said.
Scheduled events include dinners, lun
cheons, tours of the campus and an awards
presentation, in addition to the individual
class reunions, said Miller.
"About 600 in all are expected to
come," he said, explaining that the exact
number would be difficult to know since
there are lots of different events over the
weekend and some people may just attend
one event.
