About HCC

The purpose of this website is to keep the campus and general community informed about activities related to our accreditation through AQIP.

What is AQIP?

AQIP (Academic Quality Improvement Program) infuses the principles and benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of colleges by providing an alternative process through which an already accredited institution can maintain its accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. With AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation standards and expectations through action projects geared at improving performance.

Quality Action Projects are high-priority projects for the continuous quality improvement of each college.
Each AQIP college selects its own projects.
Each college formally declares its projects to the Higher Learning Commission.
AQIP colleges must have three ongoing projects at all times.
