The Coastline Promise improves access to higher education by removing financial obstacles to first-year students who are recent graduates from our local, partnering high school districts (such as Newport-Mesa, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove & Westminster). Coastline's Promise is to provide committed students a tuition-free first year at Coastline, with up to $1,000 in bookstore vouchers (for their fall & spring semesters), as well as wrap around services such as Student Success Coaches, tutoring and more.
Coastline Community College Foundation is depending on community partners to offer their support of the Promise. When the promise of education is fulfilled, it's not just the students who benefit but the whole community benefits by elevating families out of poverty. In return, the community and local economy benefits through well-educated, career-ready graduates who live and work in our region. Pledge your support to the Coastline Promise and transform the community - donate online. To find out how you can partner with the Coastline Promise, please contact Mariam Khosravani (by email: mkhosravani@coastline.edu) or call the Foundation at (714) 241-6154.
Accreditation is a process for evaluating and assuring the quality of education used by the American higher education community. Each institution affiliated with the ACCJC voluntarily undergoes a seven-year cycle of institutional self-evaluation and professional peer review, measuring itself against the Accreditation Standards. Based upon reports and peer review, the Commission determines the accredited status of an institution, which is made public through Commission announcements.
Coastline Community College wishes to announce that it will host an ACCJC evaluation team visit February 25-28, 2019. The review will be based on the Institutions Self Evaluation Report (ISER) and how well the College meets ACCJC's Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, and the Commission Policies. The visiting team will have opportunities to conduct interviews of employees and students to validate information provided in the ISER. The final evaluation of the College, including ACCJC's recommendations for accreditation, will be received in a formal written document in July, 2019. The letter and Evaluation Report will be published online at that time.
