Section IIA: Instructional Programs


What is needed?

All programs, are consistent with the institution’s mission, are appropriate to higher education, and culminate in student attainment of identified student learning outcomes, and achievement of degrees, certificates, employment, or transfer to other higher education programs.

Learning support services are varied in type and function, including computer labs, diverse library collections, tutoring centers, and instructional activities.

Section IIC: Student Support Services


What is needed?

PCC regularly evaluates the quality of student support services and demonstrates that these services, regardless of location or means of delivery, support student learning, and enhance accomplishment of our mission.
