What Accreditation Means

Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer review process.

An accredited college or university has the resources necessary to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and provides reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

Understanding Accreditation

Accreditation Status

Central Maine Community College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.).

Scope of Accreditation

Accreditation by the Commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole.

As such, accreditation is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, nor of the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

Questions About Accreditation?

Inquiries regarding CMCC’s accreditation status should be directed to the College’s administrative staff. Individuals may also contact the New England Commission of Higher Education directly.
