2024 Spring Area Meetings

- Various Locations

Given the overall success of the Area Meetings during fall 2023, the ASCCC has opted to once again hold the Area Meetings during a single day. The 2024 Spring Area Meetings will be held March 22, 2024.

These meetings are held before the upcoming plenary session to discuss matters of concern to your Area, review proposed resolutions to be voted on at plenary session, and generate new resolutions. The day will start with everyone together for a morning general session that will include the President's Update, Foundation Update, Discipline List process information, and resolutions information along with opportunities to ask questions about each of these topics. Then faculty will convene by areas to continue with review of resolutions and sharing of college updates.

Cancelled 2023 Accreditation Regional Meeting: Accreditation During Changing Times

Los Angeles Southwest College

Note: This event has been cancelled. 

Due to low enrollment for the Accreditation, the ASCCC had to make the decision to cancel the event at this time. We wanted to respect the time of all participants, attendees and presenters alike, and did not feel that we would be able to do so with the enrollment numbers we had.

The ASCCC will focus on updating the accreditation paper to address the recently assigned resolution and will continue the conversation at a future event. Additional information will come out in the form of a Rostrum article in April, as well as updates to the paper on Effective Practices in Accreditation

Higher education is undergoing many changes such as student placement and assessment processes, increased student services, and even consideration of a guided pathways framework. Likewise, accreditation requirements and practices are undergoing significant change. Accreditation is no longer an event that occurs once every six years to prove compliance; it is a process that requires annual consideration and broad participation to ensure that the education and services provided to our students are of high quality and value to the community and public at large. Whether your college is gathering evidence, in the process of writing an Institutional Self Evaluation Report, or preparing for a comprehensive site visit, the Academic Senate for California Community College’s Accreditation Institute will provide guidance and support. Accreditation is an opportunity to share everything that our colleges do well and to identify areas where improvement can be made. This year’s institute, while embracing change, is focused on understanding accreditation so that participants are empowered and energized to take ownership of accreditation. New this year, is a pre-session sponsored by the ACCJC. There will be two trainings: one, a new evaluator training for faculty and the other, new Accreditation Liaison Officer Training.
