The Accreditation Advisory Group (AAG) at Diablo Valley College provides leadership and guidance in preparing for and maintaining accreditation through the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). AAG ensures that accreditation processes are inclusive, transparent, and aligned with the college’s mission, strategic goals, and commitment to continuous improvement.
