Preparations are wrapping up for El Camino College's midterm accreditation report, which will be submitted to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) in March.
The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges at its meeting of January 6-8, 2016, reviewed El Camino College's Follow-up Report, evidentiary materials, and the Follow-Up Visit Evaluation Team Report prepared by the Evaluation Team from its visit of October 29, 2015. The Commission found that El Camino College addressed Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 from the fall 2014 comprehensive evaluation, resolved the deficiencies, and standards were met.
In February 2016, El Camino College received notice from the ACCJC that its next scheduled report is the Midterm Report to be submitted by March 15, 2017. The Midterm Progress Report is in response to the accreditation visit in 2014 and the subsequent actions taken by the ACCJC committee. The report demonstrates ECC's progress on all 11 recommendations and self-identified issues from the 2014 Self-Study Report. These were reviewed and discussed through the El Camino College Collegial Consultation process at both El Camino College and ECC Compton Center.
