Laney On Track to Accreditation Reaffirmation

Laney College was given full accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) in summer 2009. Laney was one of only five community colleges – out of 27 reviewed last year – to receive a clean bill of health from the accrediting team. Affirmation by the Commission is really a confirmation of our work together for the past several years.

At the same time, the ACCJC offered several recommendations to the Peralta Community College District that require the Colleges/District to respond in a report to be submitted by March 15, 2010. Last week, the Peralta Board of Trustees approved Laney’s draft Follow-up Accreditation Report. We will submit this document to the ACCJC before the deadline. We are expecting a favorable campus visit from Commission representatives in April.
