Southern Region: Implementing a Continuous Quality Improvement System to Drive Your Accreditation Process

The Center for Institutional Effectiveness invites you to a two-day national quality seminar for leaders of higher education institutions in the southern U.S. The session is designed to help colleges and universities prepare for the new reaffirmation-of-accreditation guidelines currently underway in the region.

Reaffirmation of accreditation is an essential undertaking for colleges – especially for those in the South, where the vital process has just been updated. New requirements will hold institutions more accountable for what students know upon graduation, and accrediting agencies are therefore calling for stricter measures of assessment and accountability.

This two-day workshop will help your institution align its current processes with new accreditation requirements. You will learn how to effectively implement the reaffirmation of accreditation process, and institute successful assessment-based reporting techniques. Following the approaches presented in this seminar, you will be able to look at any site visit from an accreditation agency as “business as usual.”

At the conclusion of this seminar, participants will be able to:

• Manage your teams with Continuous Improvement concepts and principles

• Educate your colleagues on the effective use of data to impact change

• Apply effective documentation principles to demonstrate continuous improvement

• Evaluate approaches to creating and assuring quality

• Implement concepts to improve institutional processes that demonstrate effectiveness

• Apply the major changes in the reaffirmation of accreditation processes in the Southern Region

• Practice effective techniques to facilitate the accreditation process smoothly
