2022-2023:
Under the leadership of College Council the Accreditation Task Force provided oversight of the initial draft writing. Teams that included faculty, classified professionals, and administrators were assigned to the four standards and worked to create drafts in preparation for the feedback and review process.
2023-2024:
In fall 2023 announcements were made by email and at meetings of Academic Senate, Associated Student Government, Classified Senate, and Management Council seeking feedback on draft ISER documents. An Open Forum was announced by email and held in October 2023 to inform the college community of the process and seek feedback. Links to online forms were provided and feedback was collected throughout the fall semester. Revisions were made based on the initial feedback in preparation for the final review process.
Spring 2024 provided opportunities in January and February for final feedback from the college community and specifically from Academic Senate, Associated Student Government, and Classified Senate. Final revisions will be made and constituency groups will receive the final 2024 ISER for vote and approval in March and April. The SCCCD Board of Trustees will receive the final document for vote and approval in May and June. The approved 2024 ISER will be submitted to ACCJC in August 2024.
2024-2025:
In fall 2024 a Peer Review Team assigned by ACCJC will conduct a comprehensive peer review process of the FCC 2024 ISER and document the findings in the Core Inquiries Report. The Core Inquiries Report summarizes areas or topics where the Peer Review Team would like clarification, expansion, or additional evidence and establishes the primary lines of inquiry for the focused site visit.
The Peer Review Team will conduct a focused site visit in spring 2025. Follwing the visit the college will receive a Peer Review Team Report that documents the findings of the Peer Review Team during the comprehensive review process, contains recommendations to the Commission regarding the institution’s alignment with Standards, and provides suggestions and observations to support the institution’s
continuous quality improvement efforts.
