Institutional Resources
This section deals primarily with COC-accredited institutions seeking reaffirmation of accreditation with the Commission. The Handbook for Institutions Seeking Reaffirmation of Accreditation provides information
for institutions undergoing reaffirmation and can be ordered by using the Commission’s
Publication Order Form accessed at “Policies,
Guidelines, Good Practices, and Position Statements.” The “Substantive
Change Policy and Procedures” provides information for institutions
undergoing a change of a substantive nature as defined in the policy.
For institutions applying for membership with the Commission, access “Application information" by clicking here.
Other information, such as policies, procedures, and manuals, can be found by clicking onto “Policies and Publications.”
Documents and information in this section are divided into five parts:
- General Forms/Guidelines. Documents and information that may be used in all or some types of Commission review.
- Interpretations to the Principles of Accreditation as approved by the SACSCOC Board of Trustees
- Reaffirmation: Documents, Policies, and Timelines
- The Fifth-Year Interim Report: Information, Forms, and Timelines
- SACS/COC Joint Visit with the Association of Theological Schools at the time of Reaffirmation: Agreement and Documents
