Citrus College’s virtual accreditation visit on Oct. 12 and 13 went well, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Accreditation Liaison Officer Joumana McGowan said.
The next step in the accreditation process is for the visiting team to share its draft team report, which the college will check for factual errors before the team completes its final report.
The visit was conducted using a new process, which only requires five of the 12 visiting team members to be present during the site visit. Citrus is the “guinea pig” for the process, McGowan said.
“The general reaction for the visiting team was a positive one,” McGowan said in an email.
The visiting team verified the college’s program review and student learning outcome assessments and commended the college for piloting the new review process, McGowan said.
The site visit was conducted over Zoom across three meetings: welcome and introduction, open forum and an exit report.
The team reported their general findings during the exit report, but specific feedback will not be known until a team report is finalized.
Any commendations, compliance issues and/or recommendations for improvement will be included in the team’s final report, McGowan said.
