Members of the Cleveland Area College Consortium are fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The college must have its main campus in Cuyahoga County or in any of the six counties contiguous to Cuyahoga County (Lorain, Lake, Medina, Portage, Geauga, Summit).
The college may have an off-campus location housed in its own separate facility in Cuyahoga County, which offers significant and continuing coursework toward the completion of a college degree.
