AVC Accreditation: Steering Committee

The Accreditation Steering Committee reviews, gathers and describes the college's efforts in meeting or exceeding the accreditation standards set by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC/WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Self Study Philosophy Statement

We at Antelope Valley College view the accreditation process as an opportunity for reflection and self-examination, activities often neglected in the day-to-day pressures of meeting the needs of our students and community. Through reflection and self-examination, we hope to refine our programs and services, identify areas that need strengthening, and determine the future direction of the institution. If we are to fulfill these goals, we must conduct our self-examination honestly, openly, and objectively.

It has been our experience in the past that the self study process has tended to provide a sense of common purpose and unity to the campus. Staff from every sector of the campus worked harmoniously together to create a document that reflects our best appraisal of where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there. The process by which we create a self study report is, therefore, as valuable as the document it produces.
