ACCJC 2030 Strategic Plan
In the fall of 2023, ACCJC began developing its 2030 Strategic Plan, recognizing the need for the organization’s continued evolution to support member institutions and respond to the public’s ongoing demand for transparency, quality, and equitable outcomes. The ACCJC Commission and staff obtained feedback from hundreds of partners through virtual surveys and town halls, all of them reinforcing the critical importance of ACCJC’s values: integrity, quality assurance, institutional improvement, peer review, student learning & achievement, and collegiality – as well as its commitment to the achievement of equitable student outcomes. Approved by the Commission at its final read during the June 2024 meeting, the resulting 2030 Strategic Plan recognizes the significant challenges our institutions face with anticipated demographic changes, funding cuts, and the uncertainty of a rapidly changing world. The Plan will guide ACCJC in its work to support and advocate for member institutions as they carry out their critical work on behalf of the millions of students being served. The full ACCJC 2030 Strategic Plan is available on the ACCJC website.

In support of the 2030 Strategic Plan, Commission Staff developed a 2024-2025 operational plan to guide its work. We are pleased to announce ACCJC will be launching three strategic initiatives this summer. Each initiative will feature a call to action and multiple opportunities for engagement with the field. Complete project plans are available on the ACCJC website and linked below.

    1. Creating an Institutional Success Advisory Team, Developing a Rubric for Effective Institutional Outcome Transparency, and Enhancing Annual Monitoring Processes and Supports
