CCC ACCREDITATION
Update July 2007

ACCREDITATION OVERVIEW

Contra Costa College and all three colleges in our district will be reviewed to confirm our continuing accreditation in Fall 2008.  The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges reviews our colleges every 6 years.  To prepare for this review, the college conducts a self study, collects evidence to verify our self study findings, prepares for a visitation by an accrediting commission team.
