The College Quality Assurance Audit Process had zero recommendations for St. Clair College after a year-long review.
For the first time in history, auditors determined the college met all six standards and all 30 requirements.
"Quality assurance is fundamental to our responsibility as a public institution," said St. Clair College President Michael Silvaggi. "This audit provides independent confirmation that St. Clair has strong systems and practices in place to support the quality of our academic programs and the experience we provide students."
The six quality assurance standards assessed included program quality, program delivery and student assessment, vocational learning outcomes, conformity with government requirements, availability and allocation of college-wide resources, and policies and practices that influence academic quality.
"The audit reflected the work of people across St. Clair, in our classrooms, programs, services and operations," said Lindi Prendi, Executive Director of Academic Excellence, Quality Assurance & Accountability. "Quality is not something we prepare for only when an audit is coming – it is built into the work people do every day. This result is a reflection of that commitment, and our faculty and staff should be very proud."
The audit results earned the college the highest institutional designation: mature.
