UCC will open at 10am today.
Umpqua Community College is the regional center for higher education in Douglas County, Oregon, proudly offering an ever-expanding array of in-demand college degree, workforce development, and community learning programs.
Driven by UCC’s vision and mission, planning provides long and short-term direction to the College and includes establishing measurable outputs, outcomes, and associated indicators of success.
Resource allocation ensures that the College deploys its resources (people, money, space, technology, and equipment) to effectively achieve the College’s goals, priorities, and plans.
Assessment processes provide data and analyses that enable UCC to evaluate the progress made against the measurable indicators defined during planning. The results identify areas for improvement, inform planning and decision-making, and allow the College to close the loop in a cycle of continuous improvement. Assessment takes place in all areas of operation.

UCC identified eleven institutional indicators as key metrics used to measure successful mission fulfillment. The UCC 2018-2023 Strategic Plan is aligned with the institutional indicators.
The Mission Fulfillment and Institutional Effectiveness Annual Report, along with the Strategic Plan Annual Report, is part of the College’s on-going self-study process designed to inform strategic directions, guide tactical and operational planning, and inspire continuous improvement.
UCC is accredited by the Northwest Commission for Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
Throughout the seven-year accreditation cycle, UCC evaluates institutional effectiveness to demonstrate fulfillment of the College’s mission.
