The SACSCOC Board of Trustees conducts institutional reviews in accordance with the Core Requirements and Standards in the Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement to provide consistent guidelines for peer reviews and representing the collective judgment of the membership on standards appropriate for the assurance of quality in higher education.
During the 2018-2019 academic year, UTRGV prepared its SACSCOC reaffirmation of accreditation document. Preparation of the reaffirmation document provided an opportunity for the university to examine its practices, policies and procedures, especially those that impact student success. At the heart of the SACSCOC reaffirmation process is the commitment to engagement and continuous improvement. SACSCOC requires a 10-year reaffirmation report and a 5th Year Interim report.
