Accreditation
College of the Siskiyous is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (10 Commercial Blvd Suite 204, Novato, CA 94949, (415) 506-0234 telephone, (415) 506-0238 fax), an institutional accrediting body recognized by The Commission of Recognition of Post-Secondary Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
The purpose of this website is to organize our accreditation-related activities, to inform the campus and extended communities of our accreditation status, and to provide a repository of all accreditation-related documents.
After over a year of preparation, in early 2010 College of the Siskiyous submitted its Self-Study to ACCJC. Then, in early March, the campus was visited by a team of peers who prepared a report for submission to the commission. At its June meeting, after evaluating both our self-study and the visiting team’s report, the commission continued our accreditation, but with conditions. (ACCJC Action Letter, dated June 6, 2010). Those conditions are that we need to correct deficiencies in areas addressed by four specific recommendations. We are instructed to prepare a Follow-Up Report by March 15 of 2011, and will then be visited again. That Follow-Up Report has been submitted. It provides evidence of the College's activities in response to the recommendations. A team from the Commission visited the campus on April 12, 2011.
