Wyoming Community College Commission Annual Accreditation Report, April 1, 2007-March 31, 2008
Wyoming Community College Commission
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), accredits Wyoming's seven community colleges. Institutional accreditation is a voluntary process that serves the critical purposes of quality assurance and institutional and program improvement. Colleges that are accredited by the HLC continually evaluate their programs and overall institutions in light of the criteria for accreditation set forth by the HLC. Currently, most of the Wyoming community colleges follow the HLC Program to Evaluate and Advance Quality (PEAQ) to maintain accreditation status. This brief report presents the criteria for accreditation and activity of seven Wyoming community colleges during 2007-08. An accreditation schedule is also included at the end of this report for easy reference. [For the April 1, 2006-March 31, 2007 accreditation report, see ED502735.]
