Clatsop Community College is scheduled for a site visit by The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) in conjunction with a comprehensive evaluation during its Year Seven Self-Study accreditation process. The visit will take place October 21-23, 2019.
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) explains that institutional self-studies are a part of “an ongoing process to understand, evaluate, and improve quality and effectiveness.” The goal of the process is to provide an evaluation of the overall quality of Clatsop’s educational programs with a specific focus on student learning outcomes.
Clatsop Community College has been accredited continuously by NWCCU since 1965, having most recently reaffirmed in 2011.
As part of the process, comments from the public are invited and considered with regard to Clatsop’s qualification for accreditation. Signed, written public comments should be submitted to NWCCU and will be forwarded, as received, to the institution, the evaluation committee, and the Commission. Comments are due to the Commission no later than September 20, 2019.
