This interactive workshop will provide guidance for faculty and staff tasked with developing outcomes assessment reports for SACSCOC accreditation. The workshop will emphasize submitting the first part of the report, which is due on September 30, 2026. This fall, the focus is on revising outcomes and methods based on the analysis of the results collected from 2025-2026. This workshop is designed to be a highly practical, hands-on training, so participants are encouraged to work with draft documents of their own reports. The presenters will be available after the workshop for individual consultation as needed. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the session that best fits the program they assess. However, much of the information covered in the sessions will be relatively similar, although the focus will be slightly different.
This workshop supports the university’s goal to provide the necessary services, resources, and infrastructure to support the university’s strategic direction by implementing effective planning and continuous improvement for SACSCOC reaffirmation.
Presented by:
Dr. Lon Olson, Assistant Vice Provost for Program Accreditation and Assessment
