Spartanburg Community College Earns Reaffirmation of Accreditation

Spartanburg Community College (SCC) has received reaffirmation of accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), extending the College's accreditation for an additional 10 years.

The reaffirmation follows a comprehensive review process that evaluates institutions on academic quality, governance, financial stability, institutional effectiveness, student support, and compliance with accreditation standards.

According to College leadership, SCC received reaffirmation without any monitoring reports, conditions, or follow-up requirements.

"This reaffirmation reflects the dedication and commitment of our faculty, staff, administrators, and Commission members who work every day to provide exceptional educational opportunities for our students," said Spartanburg Community College President Dr. Michael Mikota. "It validates the quality of our academic programs, the strength of our operations, and our continued focus on student success."

Accreditation through SACSCOC assures students, employers, and the community that Spartanburg Community College meets rigorous standards of educational excellence and institutional effectiveness. Accreditation also enables SCC students to access federal financial aid and ensures that credits and credentials earned at the College are recognized by other institutions and employers.

The reaffirmation process included an extensive institutional review, documentation of compliance with accreditation standards, and evaluation of the College's ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.

"This achievement represents years of collaboration across the institution," said Dr. Jenny Williams, Associate Vice President of Institutional Excellence. "Every department played an important role in demonstrating SCC's commitment to quality, accountability, and continuous improvement. We are proud of this accomplishment and what it means for our students and communities."

SCC serves Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union counties through comprehensive transfer, career, technical, workforce development, and continuing education programs. The College remains focused on preparing students for successful careers, further education, and lifelong learning opportunities that support regional economic growth.

"The reaffirmation confirms that Spartanburg Community College is well-positioned to continue serving our students and communities for years to come," said Dr. Mikota. "We are proud of this achievement and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead."
