Accreditation is the process for evaluating and assuring the quality of education used by the American higher education community. It is a quality assurance process through which institutions collectively set standards for good practice, conduct peer-based evaluations of institutions on a regular basis, confer accredited status on institutions, and make the results of accreditation review of institutions known to the public

Every six years, the college goes through a comprehensive and in-depth self-study as part of the re-accreditation process. Cabrillo was reaccredited in March 2001 when the last self-study and report was issued. As part of the regular accreditation process, Cabrillo College will be visited in October 2007 by a team of experts organized through the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  Cabrillo College will be visited in October 2007 by a team of experts organized through the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
