Bossier Parish Community College is in compliance with this core requirement because the College has a mission statement that is appropriate in that it addresses teaching and learning opportunities as well as public service for citizens in the region. The College Planning Council revised and approved the statement December 2005 to read as follows: "The mission of Bossier Parish Community College is to provide instruction and service to its community. The mission is accomplished through courses and programs that provide sound academic education, broad career and workforce training, continuing education, and varied community services through flexible instructional delivery systems. The College provides a wholesome, ethical, and intellectually stimulating environment in which diverse students develop their academic and workforce skills to compete in a technological society," and this approval is reflected in the Minutes from December 2005 Planning Council Meeting.

The College Mission Statement is published in places that are easily accessible to the students, employees, and the general public. Location examples are as follows: the General Catalog, College Student Handbook, College Website, College Fact Book, and IPEDS College Opportunities Online Website (includes link to Mission Statement on College website).
