Sent on behalf of Provost Jerold Hale and Dr. Cindy Williamson:

We just received the written notification that our SACSCOC Reaffirmation is official! We want to thank everyone for their support and diligent work during the entire process.

We are responsible for submitting a monitoring report, which many of you have already contributed to, regarding standard 8.2.a (Student outcomes: Education programs). In this report, we have been asked to provide an additional cycle of evidence of our outcomes assessment process. While we already provided two years of cycle information, this additional evidence of continuous improvement is needed to affirm our compliance with this particular standard. This report is due April 1, 2024, but we will be submitting it soon, as we asked academic programs and departments to make changes and submit any necessary information by January 16.

Our next reaffirmation will take place in 2032, with our Fifth-Year Interim Report due in 2027. We will be notified 11 months in advance of the specific due date of the Fifth-Year Interim Report. Additional information will be provided to the campus as we embark on that process.

We appreciate your attention to SACSCOC requirements and your commitment to compliance!

Jerry and Cindy

Jerold Hale, Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
