Abstract	During January 23-24, 1984, a North Central Association of Colleges and Schools evaluation team visited Colorado Technical College to conduct a comprehensive evaluation for continued accreditation at the bachelor's degree granting level. The accreditation was continued as a result, and it was recommended that a comprehensive evaluation be scheduled in 1986-1987 to look at such areas as: high faculty turnover; instructional programs with marginal enrollment, equipment, or technical depth; lack of faculty development; and new administrative adjustments resulting from a change in administration. Information and institutional data are provided relative to the concerns addressed in the focused visit of May 18-19, 1987. The process discussed took place from June 1984 to February 1987. An examination of the areas of focus is offered. These areas include (1) finances (the ability to support staffing and equipment) and (2) the institution's progress in long range planning. A future plans summary and a summary assessment of the area of focus are provided. Conclusions are: the enrollment decline has stopped; the college has taken the right steps to turn around the financial base and develop a realistic long range plan; and the college is confident that all of the 1984 concerns have been addressed. Attachments include Data Form C (instructional staff and faculty number, degree, and salary; Data Form D (income and expenditures); items available and displayed for review; agenda issues; and an official response to the concerns expressed by the visiting team. Five appendices provide outlines of the college's new programs in computer engineering and defense systems management; a job description for an Associate Dean/Department Chair; employee training forms; a descriptive list of area colleges for purposes of comparison; and several news releases.
