Accreditation is the method by which the higher education community regulates itself; it provides for public confidence, institutional effectiveness, and the maintenance of standards. The transfer of credits among accredited schools is one of the benefits of this system for students. Every ten years, each college undergoes an accreditation review process. MGC is now in the first phase of its work for reaffirmation of accreditation in 2009.
