Strategic Planning Survey

ACCJC is undergoing the creation of a 2030 Strategic Plan. As part of that process, we are seeking the feedback of our member institutions, stakeholders, and the public. Our hope is to engage with faculty, staff, students, administrators, and the communities that they serve to chart a path forward for our work in promoting student success.

ACCJC’s current Strategic Plan offers three key strategies and six primary objectives.

Key Strategies

Strategy 1: Communicate and collaborate to advance the mission of ACCJC
Strategy 2: Foster institutional innovation
Strategy 3: Lead advocacy efforts on accreditation

Primary Objectives

Objective 1: Support institutional efforts to increase student achievement
Objective 2: Refine the comprehensive review process
Objective 3: Develop a new accreditation standards framework
Objective 4: Nurture ongoing collaborations and expand partnerships
Objective 5: Strengthen ACCJC infrastructure and capacity
Objective 6: Increase opportunities for two-way communication with member institutions

ACCJC invites participation in an online survey to gather stakeholder feedback. Additionally, we have scheduled a series of town hall listening sessions for early 2024. Staff and Commissioners will consider the feedback before drafting and adopting the 2030 ACCJC Strategic Plan in July 2024. Please take a moment to complete the open-ended survey linked below and register to attend a listening session. Thank you in advance for your contributions to ACCJC and the peer review process.

1. ACCJC’s mission is to “support its member institutions to advance educational quality and student learning and achievement. This collaboration fosters institutional excellence and continuous improvement through innovation, self-analysis, peer review, and application of standards.” Does this statement clearly capture our “Why?” If not, how could this be improved/tailored, or how can we better articulate our mission and “why”? *This question is required.

2. How can we both increase our value and better articulate our value to stakeholders? *This question is required.

3. What supports or services are we not bringing to our member institutions? How can we strengthen the value we bring to our members? *This question is required.

4. If there were a single key strategic goal for the strategic plan (or a key activity for forthcoming annual plans), what would it be? *This question is required.

5. Please provide any other feedback that you feel would be helpful to ACCJC Staff and Commissioners in the development of the 2030 ACCJC Strategic Plan. *This question is required.
