SSC has been continuously accredited since January 1, 1933. Every ten years, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) conducts a comprehensive review of the College.

On March 25-26, 2019, a team of four peer review evaluators from the Higher Learning Commission will visit South Suburban College for a comprehensive evaluation visit. The goal for this visit is a full reaffirmation of the college’s accreditation. The visit will provide SSC the opportunity to tell our story, to discuss the many accomplishments we have achieved, and to share areas that the college is focused on improving. The evaluation team visit will feature a combination of individual meetings, topical meetings with a specific focus, and open forums. Our Assurance Argument and other supportive evidence will be submitted to the HLC prior to the visit.
