2016 Accreditation Institute

Event Dates
Deadline to Register/Application Deadline

Whether your college is gathering evidence, writing the self- evaluation, or preparing for a site visit in spring, the Academic Senate for California Community College’s Accreditation Institute will provide guidance and support no matter where you are in the cycle of accreditation.  Even colleges that finished a site visit in fall know that accreditation work never really ends.  At its core, accreditation is the peer-evaluation process we use to improve the education we offer to individuals in our communities, and we have affirmed our commitment to the spirit of such processes throughout the years.
