Accreditation Statement

York County Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction. Accreditation by the New England Association indicates that the college meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates.  Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of an institution’s accreditation by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the college.

While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the college reserves the right to make changes at any time with respect to course offerings, degree and program requirements, services provided, cost of attendance, or any other subject addressed in this publication. The Information provided in this publication is provided solely for the convenience of the reader, and the college disclaims any liability, which may otherwise be incurred.  Acceptance of students into a new program, approved after publication of this catalog, will be subject to this catalog and any appropriate addendums.
