2020 Accreditation Institute

Event Dates
Deadline to Register/Application Deadline

Join us for a dynamic Accreditation Institute in La Jolla, CA on February 21 and 22, 2020.  As all of our colleges navigate the implementation of Guided Pathways, this institute will focus on how the work of Guided Pathways, with a foundation in equity, aligns to the accreditation standards. Guided Pathways and Accreditation both focus on improving systems and systemic assessment. There are significant changes being made at our colleges and at ACCJC that reflect our shared intent to improve our systems.  We encourage ALOs, Accreditation and Guided Pathways leads and interested faculty, staff, administration and students to attend.  Learn about how the outcomes and dialog produced through transformative Guided Pathways work can provide evidence of how colleges are meeting and/or exceeding the standards through evaluating and improving our institutions with a focus on student success.

The 2020 Accreditation Institute will be taking place at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla - La Jolla, California.

Where: Marriott La Jolla Hotel, 4240 La Jolla Village Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037

When: February 21-22, 2020

FAQs

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

Your registration is transferable, however you must first cancel the first registration by emailing the Senate Office in writing at events [at] asccc.org (events[at]asccc[dot]org) . You will then need to register the second individual.  Should a payment transfer be necessary, we can do it at that time.

What is the cancellation/refund policy?

  • Please remember that the last day to cancel your registration is Friday, January 23rd, 2020 without penalty and is always posted on each event's webpage, and is listed in each confirmation email. Cancellations must be submitted in writing to events [at] asccc.org (events[at]asccc[dot]org) on or before the posted date. Registration will not be canceled due to non-payment. All cancellations made after the posted cancellation date will be assessed a $175.00 cancellation fee.

  • Cancellations made less than 7 working days (February 14) prior to the event will be billed the full amount of the conference.

  • No shows, unclaimed "TBA" attendees, and cancellations made after the deadline will be billed the Full  Registration Fee to you and/or your college. As attendees are permitted to register without funds, we have no way of determining cancellation unless specifically told, in writing.

  • Submission of your registration signifies agreement with this policy.

  • Unpaid balances owed to the Academic Senate must be paid off before an attendee can register for a future event.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

All attendee registrations must match the ticket.  If you would like to transfer your registration, you must cancel the first one, then register the second attendee online.  If payment transfer needs to be made, please do so in writing by emailing our events office at events [at] asccc.org (events[at]asccc[dot]org.)
