The Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet with staff members from the state Auditor’s Office in a special meeting set for 1 p.m., Monday, October 27, 2014, in the Central Conference Room of the Administration Building, (Room 1020).
An audit is a new component of the accreditation process administered by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. It is anticipated that all colleges and universities seeking accreditation by the commission will need such audits and Shoreline is among the first to go through the process.
While the audit is not required by the state, Shoreline chose the Auditor’s Office to complete the work. Auditor’s Office staff members have been on campus for about a week as part of the month-long work.
Shoreline was granted initial accreditation by the commission in 1966 and has had successful compliance ever since. Shoreline’s accreditation was most recently reaffirmed on Feb. 3, 2012 in a letter from the commission following submission of the required Comprehensive Report. On Sept. 16, 2013, Shoreline submitted its Year One Self-Evaluation Report, the first step in the next seven-year accreditation cycle.
