Teaching and Learning Quality Report – Year 2 Accreditation August, 2013 Report History: Year 1: August, 2012 Year 2: August, 2013
The purpose of this document is to provide an updated report on the process and outcomes for college-wide and program-level accreditation. OVERVIEW: The Higher Learning Commission of the NCA provides a pathway for colleges to assess and improve the quality of their programs and offerings, particularly through their new Accreditation Criteria adopted in early 2012. This report reviews our current accreditation status. Grand Rapids Community College has been accredited continuously since 1917 by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. (HLC/NCA). Accreditation by NCA provides assurance to the public, in particular to prospective students, that an institution has been found to meet the general institutional requirements for Higher Education. HLC/NCA is a not-for-profit, voluntary membership organization founded in 1898 and is committed to the improvement of education through evaluation and accreditation. Accreditation provides both public certification of acceptable institutional quality as well as an opportunity and incentive for self-improvement in the institutions accredited. A college that fails to achieve or loses their accreditation is viewed by the public and other institutions as not meeting the general requirements necessary to be an institution of higher education. Maintaining college-wide accreditation contributes to student success by ensuring quality of programs and services. In addition, the accreditation process serves as an accountability measure for the community assuring that the college meets accreditation standards. In addition to NCA/HLC college-wide accreditation, many programs also hold professional accreditations. Those programmatic accreditations are also listed in the report OUTCOME MEASURES:
