In the Fall of 2006, the accreditation process began with a regional workshop held by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  Community college leaders from surrounding institutions attended the day of information that was led by Mr. Garman Jack Pond, Vice President of ACCJC.  In collaboration with the Administrative Council and the leadership of the Academic Senate co-chairs made up one Academic Senate appointee to serve as co-chair along with an administrative co-chair for each of the four standards. Management and faculty volunteers were solicited to serve as members.  The Academic Senate appointed two editors to work with the accreditation liaison the preparation of the self study report.  In January of 2007 the two faculty editors, the Standard II faculty co-chair, and the accreditation liaison officer attended the Academic Senate Accreditation Institute.
