Thank you for your interest in serving as a Peer Reviewer on an accreditation peer review team. As a peer reviewer, you will help ACCJC and your team provide independent reviews of ACCJC member institutions. Peer reviewer service contributes to institutional transformation and is an excellent professional development opportunity.

Peer review teams determine an institution’s compliance with ACCJC Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, and Commission policies through the development of the Peer Review Team Report. Peer review teams provide guidance for institutional improvement, acknowledge areas of excellence, and provide findings by which the Commission makes a decision on the accredited status of the institution.

Typical peer review teams are comprised of five to seven members selected for their academic and/or administrative expertise. In compliance with federal regulations, teams include both faculty and administrators. For information on expectations for peer reviewers, please see the ACCJC Accreditation Handbook section 4.3.2 General Expectations for Peer Review Team Members.

Demographic information is collected in order to fulfill ACCJC's goal of having peer review teams that reflect our diverse institutions and the students they serve. This information will not be shared with other organizations. It is collected only for use by ACCJC.
