Reaffirmation
What is Reaffirmation?
Reaffirmation occurs every 10 years for SACSCOC member institutions. The result is a "reaffirming" that the College continues to be in compliance with the SACSCOC membership requirements as detailed in The Principles of Accreditation: Foundation for Quality Improvement (copy available from SACSCOC website).
Reaffirmation consists of 2 parts:
- Compliance Certification
Descriptions and evidence that the College is doing the things we agreed to do as a member of SACSCOC - document compliance with each of the standards in The Principles of Accreditation - Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
A comprehensive plan designed to improve student learning outcomes in a specific mission-related area
