Angelina College Achieves Perfect Accreditation Rating

What is the SACSCOC?

SACSCOC serves as the governing body for Angelina College and other institutions. It is an accrediting body responsible for ensuring institutional quality and effectiveness for the US Department of Education. The reaffirmation process is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by SACSCOC every ten years. Completing an on-site review with no recommendations is an unusual outcome, achieved by only a small percentage of institutions each cycle. It reflects Angelina College’s unwavering commitment to student success, accountability, and excellence.

“I am proud of our team’s commitment to doing the right things in the right ways to change lives for the better every day,” AC President Dr. Michael Simon said. “The SACSCOC on-site reaffirmation committee report affirms through the peer review process that the college is meeting the high standards established by SACSCOC.”

“I am thankful for the governance of the AC Board of Trustees, the leadership of the college’s administration and management team, and the commitment and good work of everyone in our organization. Our stakeholders can look forward with confidence to the college continuing to help students and the community reach their full potential.”

How Does The Reaffirmation Process Work?

The SACSCOC reaffirmation process engaged AC teammates from every aspect of the college, including governance, academic affairs, business affairs, institutional effectiveness, and student affairs and services. The review included the college preparing a compliance certification that was thousands of pages of narrative and evidence, a peer review by a SACSCOC off-site committee, and a peer review by a different SACSCOC on-site committee.

Angelina College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate degrees. Angelina College may offer credentials such as certificates and diplomas at approved degree levels.
