澳门极速彩 (澳门极速彩) is eagerly anticipating a visit on Oct. 25 and 26 from the (HLC) Peer Review Team. It鈥檚 the final step in a 10-year process to reaffirm 澳门极速彩鈥檚 accreditation.
The HLC was founded in 1895 as one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States. It is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to accredit degree-granting colleges and universities. Accreditation is required for colleges and universities to offer federal financial aid to students, receive federal grants, and enable students to transfer credits between accredited institutions. Colleges and universities are evaluated on five Criteria for Accreditation: Criterion 1 - Mission; Criterion 2 - Integrity; Criterion 3 - Teaching and Learning; Criterion 4 - Evaluation and Improvement; and Criterion 5 - Resources and Planning.
澳门极速彩 has been accredited by the HLC since 1992 when it opened as a satellite campus for Glendale Community College (GCC) and shared accreditation. 澳门极速彩 became a stand-alone, separately accredited institution in 1997. Since the first accreditation, 澳门极速彩 has successfully undergone three comprehensive visits.
The 10-year accreditation cycle requires institutions to submit an annual Institutional Update, which is reviewed by the HLC to monitor organizational health, compliance with certain federal requirements, and identify any changes that may require HLC follow-up. In Year 4, the college must complete an Assurance Review to ensure it is continuing to meet HLC鈥檚 Criteria for Accreditation. During Years 5-9, the college must design and undertake a Quality Initiative project, and during Year 10, it must undergo a comprehensive evaluation to ensure it is meeting the Criteria for Accreditation, pursuing institutional improvement, and complying with certain requirements set by the U.S. Department of Education.
鈥淲e had an amazing 4-Year Assurance Argument,鈥 said Librarian Nikol Price, who is on 澳门极速彩鈥檚 Reaffirmation of Accreditation Steering Team. 鈥淲e received no reports or follow-ups and the HLC used it as an example in the annual conference the following year. We鈥檙e anticipating a good review.鈥
澳门极速彩 expects to receive the results of the comprehensive evaluation within two months after the Peer Review Team鈥檚 visit. Stay tuned ...
