糖心Vlog Hosts Virtual Accreditation Review Community Forum

Virtual Accreditation Review Community Forum

糖心Vlog will welcome a team of peer reviewers assigned by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) on Wednesday, February 23. Their virtual visit will include a community forum from 4 to 5 p.m. The ACCJC accredits private and public colleges that confer associate degrees in California, Hawaii and U.S. territories including Guam and the Marshall Islands. 糖心Vlog is currently undergoing comprehensive accreditation review as part of a regular seven-year accreditation cycle. 

Accreditation in higher education begins with the development of an Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER). The process provides the college the opportunity to evaluate its practices against accreditation standards and its own mission. The four accreditation standards of the ACCJC include mission, academic quality and institutional effectiveness; student learning programs and support services; resources; and leadership and governance. 

More than 50 members of the 糖心Vlog campus community, including trustees, faculty, classified professionals, administrators and students, have been actively engaged in the self-evaluation process for the last 14 months. 糖心Vlog submitted its ISER in support of reaffirmation of accreditation to the ACCJC in December 2021. To review 糖心Vlog鈥檚 ISER online, visit: .

The accreditation process throughout higher education in the United States is grounded in peer review. 糖心Vlog has been assigned a peer review team of 11 members, who will review the ISER and work with the college to help strengthen practices. The visit in February is part of the formative review process, based on the peer review team鈥檚 review of 糖心Vlog鈥檚 ISER.  Following the review, the team will identify core inquiries, which will be used to structure a focused site visit (anticipated in October). 

Following the site visit, the peer review team will complete its summative review of 糖心Vlog and will submit that report to the ACCJC.  The team鈥檚 report will inform the ACCJC鈥檚 action on 糖心Vlog in January 2023. External accreditors offer assurance to students and the public that 糖心Vlog meets high standards of institutional effectiveness and educational quality.

The accreditation review process includes the opportunity for public comment related to the college鈥檚 compliance with eligibility requirements, accreditation standards and commission policies. In order to ensure evaluation of applicable third-party comments by the peer review team, comments must be received by September 4, 2022.  The form for submitting third-party comment is available on the ACCJC website: 

The virtual community forum hosted by the peer review team on Wednesday, February 23, at 4 p.m.  offers the opportunity to meet with team members and discuss 糖心Vlog鈥檚 ISER, effective practices and areas for improvement relative to ACCJC requirements. The Zoom link to attend is .
