Accreditation is an ongoing process that requires continual attention to remain successful. Come join us as we discuss effective methods of addressing the major areas of accreditation deficiencies. Discover what makes a robust program review process and various examples of linkage between planning, budgeting and outcomes, as well as learning about the new Accreditation annual report on outcomes.
The
Accreditation Institute 2009 will be held
at the Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, CA on January 23-25, 2009. Each day will be filled with presentations and discussions that will help you create a successful self study and develop outcomes and assessment. There will be opportunities throughout the Institute to ask questions, share issues and strategies, and develop action plans for your campus.
We are pleased to announce that this year's Accreditation Institute is also open to ACCJC accredited community college colleagues outside of the California Community Colleges. This provides an exciting opportunity to grow and share with colleagues from Hawaii, the South Pacific and others. In order to facilitate these additional members, we have increased the number of spots for California community colleges and added additional spots for our external members. However, we anticipate the conference will fill quickly once again! Register today to secure your space at this special institute and begin to create a network of support.
Thank you for your interest in this event. Registration is now closed.
