You're invited to a forum with the college's accreditation site visit team. Why this is a big deal for you:
- Accreditation is a quality check that ensures your degree holds weight with employers and other colleges.
- A major benefit of accreditation is that it allows students to receive federal financial aid and grants. Your input helps Clark College maintain this crucial eligibility.
- This is your chance to share your experience directly with the team that evaluates our college. Your feedback helps them see what's working and where we can improve, making Clark an even better place for current and future students.
Please check out the Accreditation Site Visit webpage for resources to help you prepare for the forum. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your perspective.
