Reaffirmation of Accreditation

The College of Charleston was last reaffirmed in 2017. The College is currently preparing for its next reaffirmation of accreditation in 2027. This process involves two main components:

  • Compliance Certification: The compliance certification demonstrates that the university is now, and has been, in compliance with the nearly SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation.
  • Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP): The QEP document proposes a program to improve student learning or the learning environment on campus over the five years following reaffirmation of accreditation.

The 2017 process was overseen by the following: A Leadership Team; a SACSCOC Reaffirmation Steering Committee; and a QEP Committee. The College of Charleston organizational structure is shown below.
