New academic scholarship resources
As a University, we place great value on faculty research and innovation, and it’s easy to
see why. Through our scholarship efforts, we continue to refine and improve our teaching
and learning model. This makes us better educators, which in turn helps position our
students for greater success after they graduate.

I’m excited to announce to all of University of Phoenix faculty the launch of Phoenix Career
Services, an innovative new approach to supporting student success and connecting
education to careers. This is a major milestone for University of Phoenix, and is the result of
extensive research, direct student and employer feedback and rigorous testing.

More tutorials to assist faculty with HLC visit
Between April and June this year, The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) will be visiting
University of Phoenix to observe a number of our local and online classrooms. This is
being done as part of a University-wide Comprehensive Visit to reaffirm our regional
accreditation. A Consultant-Evaluator from HLC may ask to speak with you, or may ask
to observe one of your classes. If such a request is made, the University will notify you in
advance to verify it is a legitimate call.
