Guidance Self-Study We will discuss this document with the Student Services staff We will have been in communication for the past 5 years so there shouldn’t be any surprises at accreditation time Hopefully stress levels will go down

Guidance Self-Study How the student services staff rates themselves on the self-study does not determine whether or not they will pass the accreditation standard Ratings are meant to change from year to year depending upon where the tech center is in the process of improvement
