News from Chabot-Las Positas Community College District:

Officials at the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District last week announced that the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), the accreditation for Chabot College in Hayward and Las Positas College in Livermore, has been reaffirmed for 18 months without any sanctions.

“We are proud that our peers on the accreditation evaluation committees recognize the excellence in teaching and learning that takes place at our colleges everyday,” said Dr. Jannett Jackson, district chancellor. “Faculty, staff and students at both colleges work hard to foster environments of support, growth, and achievement.”

Both colleges must file follow-up reports in response to recommendations that were delivered by the accreditation team.

Recommendations for Las Positas College include full-time and part-time faculty assessing and communicating student learning outcomes, and evaluating the comparability of face-to-face counseling and tutoring services with online counseling and tutoring services.

Chabot College recommendations include expediting the development, assessment, dialogue and improvement plans related to course and program learning outcomes.

”We are pleased to have received the accrediting commission’s reaffirmation of the continuing excellence of our educational programs and services to our students and the community,” said Dr. Susan Sperling, Chabot College president.

The colleges will submit follow-up reports to the ACCJC by March 1, 2017 to show their progress toward meeting the commission’s recommendations.
