Selected records connected directly to WASC preparation, visits, candidacy, special-visit follow-up, the self-study, accreditation and continuing improvement. Dates identify the event, report or period established by each source. Month- and year-only dates are retained when no exact day is known; source notes explain the basis. Some records belong to more than one category.
