Charge

The Accreditation Steering Committee is a subcommittee of Planning and Resources Council. Its primary responsibilities are to
• Communicate information about accreditation standards and best practices throughout the college;
• Foster college-wide dialogue on how the college meets or does not meet accreditation standards;
• Serve as a conduit for constituency input into accreditation reports and responses;
• Create and monitor plans and timelines for the preparation of all accreditation reports and responses required by ACCJC;
• Provide leadership in the preparation of reports;
• Develop and monitor plans and timelines for the remediation of areas in which the college does not fully meet accreditation standards;
• Monitor the college’s continued compliance and improvement throughout the six-year accreditation cycle.
