Follow-up Report:  Information for the Reader

March 11, 2013

Dear College Community:

 The college was informed in July, 2012, that we would be continued in "warning" status by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.  This does not mean that we have lost our accreditation.  We were asked to submit a second Follow Up Report that reflects on our progress since the team visit in April, 2012.  A team visit to the college will occur in March or April of 2013.

The second Follow Up Report has been completed.  It has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees, Academic Senate, and other governance groups.  It will be submitted to the accrediting commission by March 15, 2013.

You are encouraged to read the report, which can be found below or by going to the Follow Up Report site in MC4Me at this link https://mc4me.mccd.edu/accreditation/followup/default.aspx .  If you have any comments or questions, please let me know.  My telephone number is 209-384-6185.  Your interest in this important report is appreciated.

Sincerely, 

Anne D. Newins, Ed.D.

Accreditation Liaison Officer

Vice President of Student Personnel
