\u201cThe ACCJC has recognized the College\u2019s collective and focused efforts and we are very pleased to have received the news that our accreditation has been reaffirmed,\u201d stated Robert P. Deegan, Palomar College President.\u00a0 \u201cI particularly want to acknowledge the Governing Board for their leadership.\u00a0 I also want to thank the College\u2019s Accreditation Writing Team and the faculty, staff, and administration for all of their work throughout this process.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t be prouder of what we have accomplished on behalf of our students and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ACCJC has asked Palomar College to submit a Follow-Up Report in October 2016, which will be followed by an external evaluation team visit.\u00a0 The College was asked to address two recommendations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensure adequate tutorial support for distance education students;<\/li>\n
  2. Create an environment that includes the participation of all employees in participatory governance and appropriate councils, committees, subcommittees, task forces, and workgroups.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
