1 Standard Pathway Cycle Pima Community College Year 1 starts September 1, 2015 Cycle Year Institutional Activities Peer Review HLC Decision-Making 1 Year 1 (2015/16) to Year 3 PCC may contribute documents to Evidence File PCC submits interim reports and undergoes visits if required. Peer Review of interim reports and Team conduct visits if required. HLC Action on interim reports and visits if required (2017/18) Year 4 (2018/19) PCC Submits Comprehensive Evaluation Materials 2 Peer Review Team Conducts Comprehensive Evaluation (with visit) HLC Action on Comprehensive Evaluation 3 Year 5 (2019/20) to Year 9 PCC may contribute documents to Evidence File PCC submits interim reports and undergo visits if required Peer Review of interim reports and Team conducts visits if required HLC Action on interim reports and visits if required (2023/24) Year 10 (2024/25) PCC Submits Comprehensive Evaluation Materials 2 Peer Review Team Conducts Comprehensive Evaluation (with visit) HLC Action on Comprehensive Evaluation and Reaffirmation of Accreditation 4 Notes 1 HLC will continue to review data submitted by affiliated institutions through the Institutional Update, will apply change processes as appropriate to planned institutional developments, and will monitor institutions through reports, visits, and other means as it deems appropriate. 2 Materials for a comprehensive evaluation include an Assurance Filing (Assurance Argument and Evidence File) and Federal Compliance Filing. Some institutions will also file materials for a multi-campus review. 3 Institutions undergoing the first comprehensive evaluation following granting of initial accreditation or removal of Probation will be considered for reaffirmation of accreditation as part of the Year 4 comprehensive evaluation. A change of pathway is not an outcome of the Year 4 review. 4 Year 10 includes HLC action regarding reaffirmation of accreditation. Action on the Year 10 review will also determine the institution s future pathway eligibility.
