Quality Enhancement Plan


What is a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)?

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) is committed to enhancing the quality of higher education. As part of the reaffirmation process, SACSCOC asks each institution to develop a plan that arises from the institution’s ongoing, integrated, institution-wide planning and evaluation process. The QEP describes a carefully designed and focused plan of action that enhances student learning (student learning is defined broadly) or the environment supporting student learning. The QEP must be consistent with the institution’s strategic plan and must be directly tied to the institution’s mission.

The QEP is a component of the institution’s reaffirmation developed by a team of faculty, staff, and students that represent different parts of the university community. Read more about the institution’s current Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).

The institution’s previous QEP, a component of its 2015 reaffirmation, was Experience Learning – an exciting campus-wide initiative to enhance and expand experiential learning opportunities for students. Learn more about our continued efforts in experience learning.

More QEP information for faculty and staff is found on the Employee Hub.
