On February 7, 2014, Ventura College, Oxnard College, and Moorpark College received notification that the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) has reaffirmed accreditation for all three colleges. The decision to continue affirmation of accreditation was based on college midterm reports submitted to the ACCJC in October 2013. The ACCJC action letters and midterm reports are available for public viewing at www.vcccd.edu/accreditation.

“The Presidents and I are pleased that the colleges remain fully accredited and that we have responded to Commission recommendations successfully,” stated Chancellor Jamillah Moore, Ventura County Community College District. “It is the result of a team effort that involved many individuals and groups Districtwide.” Ventura College President Greg Gillespie commented, “This is exciting news for our campus. The reaffirmation of accreditation demonstrates our continued focus on student learning and improvement.”

The next comprehensive evaluation for accreditation is scheduled for October 2016. The District Board of Trustees expressed appreciation for staff’s hard work. Board Chair Art Hernández noted, “Although our next accreditation visit is not until 2016, the District and colleges are continuing to maintain compliance required by Commission Standards. Faculty and staff are committed to excellence in serving our students and the community.”
