Oklahoma City Community College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission which is located at 230 South LaSalle Street, Suite 7-500, Chicago, Illinois 60604-1411, Telephone 800-621-7440. The College is a member of the American Association of Community Colleges and is also recognized by the federal government to offer education under the veterans and social security laws.
OCCC recently completed the process for Higher Learning Commission Reaffirmation of Accreditation. As part of this process we have prepared the College’s Self-Study. Reaffirmation of accreditation is important to ensure employers, other institutions of higher learning, professional licensure boards and government agencies recognize the college’s degrees and certificates as valuable credentials. Seven Consultant Evaluators from the Higher Learning Commission visited the college from November 7th through November 9th. During this visit they will be confirmed the information we provided them in the self-study and asked questions verifying the college’s commitment to our student’s success.
In this document, OCCC reports the results of the College’s Self-Study to the Higher Learning Commission as well as to students, faculty, staff and the community at large.Â
Many individuals from all areas of the college were involved in producing this self-study. The teamwork of administration, faculty and staff contributed to the collection of data and its analysis.
We conducted the self-study across five committee-led criteria: Mission and Integrity, Preparing for the Future, Student Learning and Effective Teaching, Acquisition, Discovery, and Application of Knowledge, and Engagement and Service.Â
