What is a QEP?
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is an integral component of the reaffirmation of accreditation process and is derived from an institution’s ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. It reflects and affirms a commitment to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue the institution considers important to improving student learning outcomes and/or student success that is consistent with our mission and strategic plan.

The steering committee will be responsible for setting the direction and leading the development of the Quality Enhancement Plan, but will not be in charge of the implementation phase of the topic. The implementation of the QEP will be the responsibility of a secondary group.
Be on the lookout for a survey coming soon that will begin our broad based search for an overall theme for our QEP topic. Once a theme is decided, a call for QEP topic proposals will be initiated.
