Institutional Accreditation for Shoreline

Shoreline Community College has been continuously accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) since its initial accreditation in the 1960s. The College was founded in 1964 as part of the Shoreline School District and moved to its present site in 1966 when all community colleges in Washington State were transferred to a common State Board of Community and Technical Colleges.  SCC's accreditation was most recently reaffirmed following a Five-Year Interim Visit in October 2007 which followed a Full-Scale Accreditation Visit in October 2002.

 

NWCCU is currently revising its accreditation standards and process, and Shoreline CC is serving as one of the Phase II colleges whose Year One Report based on these new standards is due Fall 2011 followed by a full scale visit on all five new standards in Fall 2012. 

 

Recently we completed a progress report to Recommendation One as originally cited in the 2002 full scale visit  and 2007 interim visit.  SCC is currently drafting its Year one Report and working diligently on its self-study for the full scale report due in 2012.  Relevant accreditation documents required by the SBCTC and the NWCCU can be accessed below:
