Florida Community College reaccredited with SACS highest evaluation

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges in Atlanta has reaffirmed the accreditation of Florida Community College at Jacksonville for the maximum allowable period of ten years with no conditions or requirements. The announcement was made Dec. 6 at the SACS annual meeting in Atlanta. This is regarded as the best possible outcome relative to institutional reaccreditation.

“On behalf of the college, I want to thank and commend all of the members of our college community who contributed to this successful and highly significant result,” said College President Steven Wallace. “This is truly a tribute to the quality of our college and the professionalism of our staff.”

According to the SACS Web site, “the accreditation of an institution by the Commission on Colleges includes all of its branch campuses, additional off-site programs, and distance learning programs as reported to the Commission.”
