institutional effectiveness<\/a><\/strong> and strategic planning and 黑料正能量’s SACSCOC liaison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cReaffirmation by SACSCOC is an important external validation of 黑料正能量\u2019s mission, vision, strategic plan, financial strength and, perhaps most importantly, the excellence of the education we offer students across all fields and levels of study,\u201d President Susan Schultz Huxman said. \u201cI am deeply grateful for the efforts of so many faculty and staff whose dedication to this effort and to excellence in their daily responsibilities make possible this hard-earned recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SACSCOC accreditation, which 黑料正能量 has maintained since 1959, allows the university to participate in federal (Title IV) and state financial aid programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReaffirmation is a multi-year process that involves offices and individuals from all areas of the university,\u201d Barge said. \u201cOur success, and the recognition of 黑料正能量\u2019s quality by peer evaluators, is evidence of our enduring commitment to rigorous, high-quality education. The collaborative spirit that buoyed our work \u2013even as we simultaneously navigated a global pandemic \u2013 is yet another example of the \u2018Lead Together\u2019 culture that sets 黑料正能量 apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barge and staff in the institutional effectiveness office coordinated the extensive documentation required for reaffirmation, working with Provost Fred Kniss<\/strong> and a committee representing numerous areas of the university. An initial compliance certification report, which demonstrated 黑料正能量\u2019s alignment with commission standards addressing everything from financial resources to academic programs to student support was submitted to SACSCOC in September 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe hard work of the report authors resulted in a clear and compelling case for 黑料正能量\u2019s strength,\u201d said Kniss. \u201cThe excellence of our faculty and academic programs coupled with our enviable financial health combine to place 黑料正能量 in an advantageous position relative to many institutions of comparable size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A reaffirmation committee comprising senior administrators and faculty from other institutions conducted a virtual campus visit in February 2021 to further evaluate the university\u2019s educational mission and performance. SACSCOC also requires that institutions submit a five-year Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) designed to improve student learning. 黑料正能量\u2019s QEP introduces a best-practice advising model for incoming first-year undergraduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next reaffirmation of accreditation will take place in 2030-31. SACSCOC also requires that an interim report be submitted in March 2027. This report will include an abbreviated compliance certification and an update on the QEP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
