Summer Institute

About the Institute

The Summer Institute is designed for participants who are new to accreditation or need a refresher to:

• enhance their understanding of select standards from the SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation through case studies and exercises involving interpretation and analysis
• prepare for the development and assessment of a Quality Enhancement Plan

The Summer Institute is a curated learning experience comprised of select sessions which participants choose at the time of registration. The “workshop-style” sessions will feature defined learning outcomes, in-depth discussions and activities, and planned pre-readings/assignments to more fully engage attendees.

The content for the accreditation-related sessions will be facilitated by an accomplished group of peer instructors with expertise in the selected topic and experience serving as peer evaluators/chairs of SACSCOC review committees. SACSCOC staff will be in attendance at these sessions to contribute to discussions as needed.

Additional Special Interest sessions will be offered by instructors who have led well-received sessions at the Annual Meeting and/or a prior Summer Institute.

Participation in the Summer Institute is limited to SACSCOC applicant, candidate, and member institutions and representatives from state higher education systems.
