El Camino College Compton Educational Center Accreditation

The Compton Community College and El Camino Community College districts are working in partnership to bring an accredited college back to Compton. This Web page is dedicated to providing the public with comprehensive information about the accreditation process. To keep members of the community informed about our progress toward independent accreditation, this Web page conveys the actions and communications of both the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), the organization authorized by the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate colleges on the criteria required to achieve accreditation, and the work of our internal Accreditation Steering Committee (ASC).

About the Accreditation Steering Committee (ASC):

Under the leadership of the Compton Community College District CEO, the El Camino College Vice President, Compton Center, and Compton Center's Faculty Council President, the Accreditation Steering Committee (ASC) is comprised of faculty, students, classified staff and administrators. The ASC has five subcommittees that will assess and respond to the ACCJC's 21 eligibility criteria for accreditation. ASC subcommittee members are also responsible for gathering relevant evidence demonstrating that Compton Center meets each one of the criteria before applying for accreditation.
