2025 SACSCOC Reaffirmation

Philosophy

小猪视频鈥檚 institutional accreditor, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC or Commission), conducts a comprehensive review of its member institutions once every 10 years. Reaffirmation of institutional accreditation requires the College to conduct a comprehensive compliance audit of all programs and courses offered by the College on- and off-campus, and through distance education, prior to preparing a Compliance Certification Report (CCR) demonstrating and documenting compliance with all standards described in the SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation. The CCR attests to the institution鈥檚 honest assessment of compliance with the accreditation requirements of the Commission as applied to all aspects of the institution. The CCR is reviewed by a team of off-site peers, an onsite peer review team, and the SACSCOC Board of Trustees.

The College must also to develop and submit a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) demonstration project as part of the reaffirmation process. The QEP project must be identified through institutional planning processes, have broad-based support from institutional constituencies, and be focused on improving specific learning outcomes and/or student success. The QEP project spans a five-year period and requires vigorous assessment of effectiveness, which is reported to SACSCOC through a QEP Impact Report required as part of the College鈥檚 Fifth-Year Interim Report to the Commission.
