2024 Accreditation Reaffirmation Letter from ACCJC (1/16/24)

2023 ACCJC Peer Review Team Report

Evergreen Valley College will undergo a comprehensive review for reaffirmation of accreditation in 2023. The review will follow a formative/summative model and will take place in two portions.

First, there will be a review of the college's Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER) that the college prepared and submitted in December 2022  to show how it meets the expectations for accreditation. Following this initial review, the review team will compile a set of Core Inquiries for the college, which highlight areas in the ISER that require clarification or expansion and are used to develop both recommendations and commendations for the College.

Second, there will be a Focused Site Visit the week of October 2, 2023 for the review team to gather additional information via interviews, data requests, and meetings to discuss the Core Inquiries. The Team ISER Review and Focused Site Visit will inform the review team’s report. This will be reviewed by the commission to direct the decision on the college’s reaffirmation.

Part of the Accreditation Process is to host an Open Forum for members of the college community to share their perspectives with the team on the college’s efforts to meet Accreditation Standards. The team chair will be present, along with available team members. The team chair will make a few opening remarks on the accreditation process and purpose of the open forum, and will solicit audience comments. The open forum will not be recorded. The college president, vice presidents, deans, and board members will not attend in order to foster a more open environment for comments.

A third-party comment may be submitted to the Commission at any time as it relates to the compliance of a member institution with Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, or Commission policies. Such comment must be submitted in writing, signed, and accompanied by the affiliation, return address and telephone number of the correspondent. Commission staff will review all third-party comments to assess its applicability to Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, or Commission policies. Institutions will be provided with an opportunity to review applicable third-party comments.

Individuals who wish to make comments on the institutions that are undergoing review in the current semester and that are being considered by the Commission at its next meeting, should use the Third Party Comment Form and be sure to include their name, address, phone number, and email address. The comments must be received five weeks before the scheduled Commission meeting.
