Accreditation at Lane

In 2004, Lane Community College completed a two year process of self reflection that resulted in the 2004 Self Study. Areas of strength and growth opportunities were identified in both the Self Study and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) accreditation evaluator’s report.

In order to create a process of continuous improvement, an Accreditation Coordinating Team was established. This core group remains aligned around the nine standards identified by the NWCCU and continues to lead the on-going work of self reflection, assessment and continuous improvement.

Below you will find links to the work currently being done by the Accreditation Coordination Team including progress reports, and evidence, toward achievement of the growth opportunities identified in each standard in both the Self Study and the accreditation evaluator’s report. Contact information for the team leaders is available at the Accreditation Coordinating Team link.
