Compliance Certification: 2013
February, 2011
Angelo State University, with the formation of its steering committee and sub-committee, has officially begun preparations for its institutional compliance certification under the guidelines of the Southern Association of Schools-Commission on Colleges. This a process runs in tandem with the development of the Quality Enhancement Plan, with review of both scheduled for fall 2012-spring 2013.
A fundamental premise will guide the University’s efforts:
A university’s most important asset is its institutional accreditation.*
Without it, all other initiatives, programs, and activities in which we engage in service to our students, our profession, our disciplines, and our community are secondary.
This particular cycle of re-accreditation presents a departure for Angelo State University: the 2013 submittal will mark first time that we have been reviewed under SACS’ new, more stringent, accreditation standards that are based on outcomes and evaluation of data rather than primarily on inputs (number of faculty, library volumes, etc.). To read more about SACS, I encourage you to visit follow the “Links” on the left-hand side of the page to SACS-COC information.
Listed below are representatives from across the campus who have agreed to lead our compliance certification effort. When tallied with those individuals who are spearheading the development of our Quality Enhancement Plan, over 75 members of ASU’s faculty and staff, as well as representation from the student body and the community, are contributing their time and effort to retaining full institutional accreditation.
