Surry Community College

Beginning with the 1999-2000 fiscal year, the North Carolina Community College System initiated a new process to ensure public accountability for state monies spent. The system consists of twelve performance measures. While these measures do not reflect all aspects Surry Community College's mission, they do reflect many of the key elements of our mission. The faculty and staff of Surry Community College welcome the opportunity to document for the communities we serve our performance on these measures. We are committed to continuous assessment and improvement of the programs and services we offer.

The table below indicates how Surry Community College rated on each measure for 2005-2006. Questions may be addressed to the SCC Office of Planning, Research, and Assessment at 336-386-3451.
