Thank you for your interest in the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). ACCJC is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to accredit institutions with a primary mission of granting associate’s degrees. ACCJC member institutions may also award certificates and other credentials, including bachelor’s degrees, if these degrees are consistent with their institutional mission and, if applicable, authorized by their governmental authorities. Any institution with a primary mission of granting the associate degree may seek to establish eligibility to apply for ACCJC preaccreditation status. More information about ACCJC’s eligibility and preaccreditation processes may be found in the Commission’s Policy on Preaccreditation and the Accreditation Handbook.

Please complete the Eligibility Inquiry Form below. ACCJC staff will review your inquiry and contact you with further information.
