Accreditation Update

College Accreditation Process Underway

The process of reaffirming our accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges [SACS-COC] is underway. 

One aspect of this process is called the Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP. While other aspects of the process may look to the past or present, QEP looks to the future. The QEP identifies an area of need within the student body population, and creates a plan for addressing that need. Jefferson State’s QEP will center on the remedial math courses Math 090 and Math 098.  

Over sixty percent of incoming students need remediation in mathematics upon entering our college. The QEP committee, which is composed of faculty, staff, and administrators from several departments on each of our campuses and instructional sites, will propose a plan to increase the success and retention of our remedial math students.
