In December 2022, the SACSCOC Board of Trustees will conduct a final review of our QEP and compliance documents and issue its ruling on our reaffirmation. Then, we will begin implementing our QEP, and before we know it will be time to prepare the Fifth-Year Interim Report. Documenting and assessing what we do along the way keeps us prepared to demonstrate that we are practicing continuous improvement.
