The purpose of the self-study for the continued accreditation of Danville Area Community College by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges (NCA) is to improve the effectiveness of the institution by linking the NCA self-examination process to college improvement efforts such as strategic planning and assessment and to the Illinois Commitment, a statewide initiative for state colleges and universities.

Specifically, the NCA self-study process will provide the opportunity for Danville Area Community College to:

• review the college's progress since the last self-study in 1999;
• provide a basis for strengthening the planning process for the future of DACC;
• identify key indicators of institutional effectiveness consistent with the goals of the Illinois Commitment;
• identify specific concerns (weaknesses) and initiate improvement activities consistent with DACC's mission and vision;
• develop an assessment-based process and a guide for annual planning and budgeting.
