2026 SACSCOC Reaffirmation
As 成人头条 approaches its 2026 reaffirmation of accreditation, we are actively preparing to meet the requirements set forth by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). One of the key components of this process is the submission of comprehensive assessment reports from each department across the university.
SACSCOC requires detailed reports to ensure that every department is effectively measuring its goals, metrics, and outcomes. These assessment reports are critical in demonstrating 成人头条’s commitment to continuous improvement and operational effectiveness.
To facilitate this process, we have divided the university’s departments into three main categories based on the type of assessment report required for each unit: academic, administrative, and student success. This structured approach will allow for a more organized and efficient submission of information, ensuring compliance with accreditation standards. Please refer to the three columns below. For any questions about your unit's placement on this table, please contact us at accreditation@utep.edu.
