Nicolet College has been accredited for more than 30 years by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
An HLC accreditation team last visited the college in 2005 to review the college's academic standards and achievements as well as its operational effectiveness. That review resulted in the college receiving the HLC's highest level of accreditation: a 10-year term with no need for follow-up visits or reports during that time.
