​​Message from the college Accreditation Liaison Officer

​In January 2010, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC) awarded Norco College’s initial accreditation. With ACCJC’s action and subsequent endorsement by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors, Norco College became the 112th community college in the state.

Accreditation is a system of voluntary peer review designed to ensure that an institution of higher education meets, sustains, and improves upon established standards of quality. It is a process by which accreditors provide students and the public with assurances of institutional integrity, quality, and effectiveness.  

​Norco College supports and participates in institutional accreditation. Questions or comments about Accreditation at Norco College can be directed to the College Accreditation Liaison Officer, Dr. Tenisha James.
