 CMI Removed from Warning Status and Accreditation Reaffirmed

WASC

On February 11, 2009, CMI received word from the ACCJC affirming that its hard work has received the recognition it is due. The College received the following message in a letter from Barbara Beno, President of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, regarding our October 15th Follow-up Report:

 

The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, at its meeting on January 7-9, 2009, reviewed the Follow-Up Report submitted by the college. The Commission took action to accept the report, remove the college from Warning, and reaffirm accreditation [emphasis in the original]. The Commission expects that the accomplishments made by the College of the Marshall Islands during the past several report cycles will be sustained as all member institutions are to meet the Commission’s standards for accreditation at all times.

 

This means that CMI has been removed from all sanctions by the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) based upon the follow-up report filed in October by the College. The decision affirms the tremendous progress made by CMI since October 2005 in its mission of service to the people of the RMI.
