Reaffirmation of Accreditation 2024Foothill College had a focused site visit on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 2024 as part our
reaffirmation process. The peer review team will base their formative and summative evaluations from the college's Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER) that was submitted to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) in December 2023. Institutional Self-Study 2023The Institutional Self Evaluation Report (ISER) effort began in Spring 2022 when teams of classified staff, faculty, and administrators were formed. Team members identified the appropriate evidence in Fall 2022 and writing began in Winter 2023. The first draft was shared with the college community for feedback in Spring 2023. Editing occurred in Summer 2023 with a second draft available for review in Fall 2023. A third draft was reviewed by college stakeholders and approved by the Mission Informed Planning Council (MIPC) on November 17, 2023. |
