Accreditation Resources
Planning for tomorrow
The accreditation process is such a maze of work that it's impossible to know everything that is needed to complete the process. Because of this, we are providing a list of resources to assist the accreditation team. Other resources are also available on the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) webpage.
