Pasadena City College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). The Commission revised its Accreditation Standards in 2024, and these updated standards will guide PCC’s next Institutional Self-Evaluation Report (ISER) due in August 2027. The standards reflect the core elements of accreditation—our mission, our commitment to continuous improvement, and our approach to evaluating student learning and institutional effectiveness. Sharing them helps our campus community understand the expectations that shape PCC’s ongoing work to provide high-quality programs and support for all students.
