Accreditation Site Visit

Site Visit: October 2025

Clark College is currently accredited as a degree awarding entity by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). 

Accreditation is an ongoing process that occurs across a seven years cycle. One aspect of the accreditation renewal process is a site visit conducted by NWCCU peer evaluators. During the site visit, this team of evaluators will assess Clark College, and it's many communities, using the standards set by NWCCU. 

Clark College's most recent site visit took place October 20-22nd, 2025.  We'd like to acknowledge all of the many people across campus and within various departments, committees, planning initiatives, etc., that helped make this a positive experience for our NWCCU evaluators! 

Next Steps

NWCCU will communicate with Clark College leadership throughout the next couple months to finalize the commissions findings. Check back in early March 2026 to view the commissions letter on Clark College's accreditation status.  

Mid-Cycle Visit

Clark College will undergo its mid-cycle site visit in 2028 to review standards on mission fulfillment, student achievement, and programmatic assessment. 

We look forward to another site visit with NWCCU in 2028!
