CCC ACCREDITATION

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.
