ACCJC STANDARDS
Standard 1B. Improving Institutional Effectiveness The institution demonstrates a conscious effort to produce and support student learning,
measures that learning, assesses how well learning is occurring, and makes changes to improve
student learning. The institution also organizes its key processes and allocates its resources to
effectively support student learning. The institution demonstrates its effectiveness by providing
1) evidence of the achievement of student learning outcomes and 2) evidence of institution and
program performance. The institution uses ongoing and systematic evaluation and planning to
refine its key processes and improve student learning.
1. The institution maintains an ongoing, collegial, self-reflective dialogue about the
continuous improvement of student learning and institutional processes.
2. The institution sets goals to improve its effectiveness consistent with its stated
purposes. The institution articulates its goals and states the objectives derived from
them in measurable terms so that the degree to which they are achieved can be
determined and widely discussed. The institutional members understand these goals
and work collaboratively toward their achievement.
3. The institution assesses progress toward achieving its stated goals and makes
decisions regarding the improvement of institutional effectiveness in an ongoing and
systematic cycle of evaluation, integrated planning, resource allocation,
implementation, and re-evaluation. Evaluation is based on analyses of both
quantitative and qualitative data.
4. The institution provides evidence that the planning process is broad-based, offers
opportunities for input by appropriate constituencies, allocates necessary resources,
and leads to improvement of institutional effectiveness.
5. The institution uses documented assessment results to communicate matters of quality
assurance to appropriate constituencies.
6. The institution assures the effectiveness of its ongoing planning and resource
allocation processes by systematically reviewing and modifying, as appropriate, all
parts of the cycle, including institutional and other research efforts.
The institution assesses its evaluation mechanisms through a systematic review of their
effectiveness in improving instructional programs, student support services, and library and
other learning support services.
