The Higher Learning Commission accreditation process is an important means of providing assurance to the public that Johnson County Community College is properly prepared to fulfill its mission. On a more practical level, the HLC and other accrediting agencies have been designated as the "gatekeepers" for federal funds in higher education, including student financial aid.
As a leading educational institution in Kansas, we believe the upcoming accreditation visit will confirm that JCCC is meeting our mission to inspire learning to transform lives and strengthen communities. Throughout the pre- and post-visit process, we will assuredly learn much more about the College and welcome the beneficial feedback we will receive to help us better fulfill and even enhance our mission.
