Compliance
Certification
The Compliance Certification Report is the
document that the institution will use to make its case
for compliance with all Core Requirements, Comprehensive
Standards and Federal Requirements. Compliance with the
Core Requirements is essential for gaining and maintaining
accreditation with the Commission on Colleges. The requirements
establish a level of development required of an institution
seeking initial or continued accreditation.
The
Comprehensive Standards set forth standards in the following
three areas:
- institutional
mission, governance, and effectiveness;
- educational
programs; and
- esources.
The
Comprehensive Standards represent good practices in higher
education and establish a level of accomplishment expected
of all member institutions. The U.S. Secretary of Education
recognizes accreditation by the SACS Commission on Colleges
in establishing the eligibility of higher education institutions
to participate in programs authorized under Title IV of
the 1998 Higher Education Amendments and other federal programs.
Through
its compliance with these Federal Requirements, the Commission
assures the public that it is a reliable authority on the
quality of education provided by its member institutions.
