CCRI NEASC Accreditation Website

The Community College of Rhode Island develops a comprehensive Self Study as part of its re-accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) every ten years. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by NEASC indicates it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality through a peer reveiw process.  An accredited institution is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and exhibits reasonable evidence that it proposes to continue to do so. 

CCRI's Self Study is a rigorous endeavor involving the entire campus in a progression of self examination aimed at institutional improvement.  This document has two fundamental purposes.  The first is to assure the quality of the institution and its programs and second, to assist in the enhancement of the institution and programs. 

This site provides information about accreditation and documents related to the Self Study process.  The CCRI community looks forward to this opportunity.  The re-accreditation process will culminate in 2014, when the evaluation team visits our campuses to meet with faculty, staff and students in order to attain a first hand knowledge of the Community College of Rhode Island.
