It\u2019s one of seven <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacscoc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> regional accrediting agencies <\/a> recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The Commissions on Colleges accredits institutions of higher learning in the Southern region of the United States. <\/div> <p class=\"iwi-target-container2\"> <a href=\"#\"> Why is it important that CFCC is accredited? <\/a>  <div id=\"container2\" class=\"\"> Being accredited by SACSCOC is essential to the continued operation of Cape Fear Community College. Having accreditation means that CFCC\u2019s credits will transfer to other colleges and universities, students are able to receive federal funds for financial aid and the college receives funding from the state. In short, without accreditation, a college is ineligible for state and federal funding, its academic degrees are less valued and its overall reputation and value as an educational institution is diminished. <\/div> <p class=\"iwi-target-container3\"> <a href=\"#\"> What happens during the reaffirmation process? <\/a>  <div id=\"container3\" class=\"\"> The accreditation process and review focus on what institutions do to enhance student learning outcomes, the fundamental output of higher education. The reaffirmation process involves a two-step process: demonstrating compliance with the Commission on Colleges\u2019 Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards and Federal Requirements; and developing a Quality Enhancement Plan that focuses on enhancing student learning outcomes or the environment to support student learning. Accreditation involves every aspect of a school\u2019s mission and operations \u2013 from the board room to the classroom. <\/div>  <\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every ten years, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) member institutions are required to undergo a comprehensive internal and external review in order to receive reaffirmation of accreditation.
