The College prepared a Self-Study under the guidance of the original and final Middles States Self-Study Steering Committees.  The self-study was compiled by using individual groups to study how the College meets the standards as described in the Characteristics of Excellence.  The College believes that the Self Study accurately reflects the College's status as of April 1, 2006.

An evaluation team comprised of ten administrators and faculty from member insitutions of the Middle States Commission on Higher Eduation visited the College on November 12 - 15, 2006.  Based on that visit and a review of the College's Self Study the visiting team prepared the "Report to the Faculty, Administration, Trustees, Students of Rockland Community College."  In order to monitor our progress on issues raised by the visiting team President Wood has compiled a List of Commendations, Recommendations and Suggestions based on the visiting team's Report to the Faculty, Administration, Trustees, Students.

On March 8, 2007 the Middle States Commission on Higher Education acted and reaffirmed the accreditation of Rockland Community College. The next periodic review for the College will be 2012 and the next self-study will be 2016/2017.
