| Summary: | This manual guides educational institutions in evaluating themselves according to standards of good practice regarding goals and objectives, utilization of resources, effectiveness, and achievement. Reaccreditation, including a comprehensive self study, is required every 6 years following initial accreditation. The self study is followed by an on-site visit by a team of peers to review the accredited status of a college, with the aim of improving a college's effectiveness in achieving its stated purpose. Intended for use with the Handbook of Accreditation and Policy Manual, 1996 Edition, this manual provides a reference for the conduct of the comprehensive self study, as well as instruction for the completion and submission of reports to the Commission. The document discusses: (1) comprehensive self study participation, recruitment, preparation, and resources; (2) self study report format, content, and submission; (3) commission standards for institutional mission, integrity, effectiveness, programs, student support, learning resources, faculty and staff, finances, and governance; (4) the evaluation site visit; and (5) reports to the Commission, including midterm, annual, interim substantive change, and show-cause reports. Appendices A through E contain sample certification, documentation for the site visit and a suggested time line. (AS) |
