What are the six themes required by ACCJC to be addressed in the self-study?
ACCJC now has six themes that a college is required to integrate into its self-study: a) Dialogue that encourages campus-wide engagement about quality and that facilitates improvement; b) Student Learning Outcomes that departments and all programs have developed to show the effectiveness of support for student learning; c) Institutional Commitments as evidenced by the college mission and actions to support the mission with an emphasis on student learning; d) Evaluation, Planning and Improvement (EPI) are used by the college to determine if student needs are being met and decision making is adjusted for improvement; e) Organization indicates that the college has a systematic, formal process to identify, support and publicize its learning outcomes; and f) Institutional Integrity is how the college supports a code of ethics for its students, faculty, staff, conducts honest self-assessment and takes the steps toward improvement, and how it communicates with its constituents.
