AVC's Accreditation
Antelope Valley College is fully accredited by the ACCJC/WASC. AVC underwent its last complete institutional self study in 2004. The self study was followed by a campus visit by accrediting commission representatives, which resulted in reaffirmation of accreditation. The next comprehensive evaluation of AVC is slated to be completed in fall 2010.
