Accreditation
Accreditation is a review process designed to ensure that institutions achieve and maintain acceptable standards of quality in all that they do. The process is both internal and external, with both the college and the accrediting commission performing evaluations and engaging in dialogue about our mission, our performance in the past, and our vision for the future. The review covers every aspect of the college, from the quality of our educational programs and services to administrative decision processes to resources and finances. Institutional accreditation allows us to provide federal financial aid to our students, receive federal funding, offer degree and certification programs that are recognized and accepted by other institutions, and articulate our courses with other colleges and universities. Every six years the college is reviewed by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), which is a commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
