Accreditation Self Study Draft

Here is what you have been waiting for...
Please recognize that this is a "draft" and that close editing will follow at a later date for grammar, punctuation, word selection, format, etc. The College community worked as a team and devoted a lot of time, effort, and hard work for the preparation of the Standards Draft. We will post more drafts and revisions as they become available. If you wish to give input for the Self Study, please contact Dr. Freeman, Accreditation Liaison Officer.
