KENTFIELD, CA—January 20, 2017—In preparation for College of Marin’s (COM) re-accreditation site visit, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) is accepting third-party feedback on COM’s commitment to educational excellence by offering equitable opportunities and fostering success for all members of its diverse community.
The site visit at COM will take place March 6 through 9, 2017. Anyone—students, faculty, staff, administrators, and members of the public—wishing to provide feedback or comments to the Commission can do so by submitting the Third Party Comment Form.
For consideration, such comments must be made in writing; signed; accompanied by name, address, phone number, and email address; and received by the Commission no later than five weeks before the scheduled site visit at the College.
