Policy 312: Accreditation of Instructional Programs and Services
Grays Harbor College shall meet the standards set by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and shall maintain membership in that association and participate in such evaluations as may be required to confirm accreditation by that association. The College shall also participate in program evaluations conducted by outside agencies, including specialized accrediting associations, which in the view of the president of the College are essential to maintain necessary recognition of the quality of instructional programs and services.
Policy Review History
Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
