Welcome to the NCA Self-Study of Arapahoe Community College

Arapahoe Community College is preparing for reaccreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA/HLC). This reaccreditation process requires ACC personnel to extensively examine and reevaluate the college’s mission, values, and goals, and its ability to effectively serve all constituents, especially students.

Although this process usually takes place only once every ten years, the associated work effort remains on-going, intensifies during the two years or so prior to the site visit, involves dozens of faculty, administrators and classified employees, and culminates with an Evaluation Visit on site at ACC by a team of experts from NCA/HLC. ACC must provide satisfactory evidence that it fulfills its mission with integrity; teaches effectively; assesses student learning; promotes the acquisition, discovery and application of knowledge; engages and serves its various constituents; and prepares for future opportunities and challenges. Successful reaccreditation is essential to the college’s continuing ability to provide quality education to its community of students.

This website provides interested persons with links to NCA/HLC online information resources and to a closer look at Arapahoe Community College’s team efforts toward achieving reaccreditation.
