The Accreditation Self Study process began in Spring 2007 and the College community dialogued, investigated, collaborated, and wrote to reflect and document how the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) standards were met. The Accreditation Steering Committee and Writing Teams and the College completed its work in January 2009 with a final
Institutional Self Study. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and efforts.
In March the Visiting Team members reviewed the college's self-study report, assessed online evidence provided by the college, met with staff, faculty, students administrators and members of the Board. The ACCJC/WASC, at its June meeting, reviewed the institutional Self Study Report and the report of the evaluation team which visited Pasadena City College and agreed with the Visiting Team Final Evaluation and Recommendations.
