Accreditation

Iowa Valley Community College District is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission (Ph. 1-312-263-0456), the Iowa Department of Education, and the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships; some individual ECC and MCC degree programs are also accredited by agencies specific to those areas of study.

  • Higher Learning Commission – Prior to 1996, Ellsworth Community College and Marshalltown Community College were accredited as separate colleges. In July 1996, the HLC accreditation processes were merged and accreditation was granted to the District. The next HLC reaffirmation of accreditation for IVCCD is scheduled for 2034-2035 academic year.
  • Iowa Department of Education – IVCCD is accredited by the Iowa Department of Education (IDOE) and successfully completed the interim review process during the 2023-24 academic year. A comprehensive accreditation visit will be conducted in fiscal year 2029.
