SPC is an approved college recognized by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Questions concerning accreditation should be directed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools facilitates the transfer of credit to other colleges and universities.
