  • THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN
    The Commission on Colleges is committed to the enhancement of the quality of higher education and to the proposition that student learning is at the heart of the mission of all institutions of higher learning. The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a component of the accreditation process that reflects and affirms both of these commitments. Developing a QEP as a part of the reaffirmation process is an opportunity and an impetus for the institution to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue or issues the institution considers important to improving student learning.

    The QEP describes a carefully designed and focused course of action that addresses a well-defined topic or issue(s) related to enhancing student learning. The QEP should complement the institution's ongoing integrated institution-wide planning and evaluation process and is not intended to supplant or replace the processes described in Core Requirement Five and Comprehensive Standard Sixteen. On the contrary, the topic or issue identified for the QEP may very well evolve from these existing processes, as well as from other issues stemming from the institution's internal reaffirmation review.

    While many aspects of the accreditation process focus on the past and the present, the QEP is "forward-looking" and thus transforms the process into an ongoing activity rather than an episodic event. Core Requirement Twelve requires an institution to have a plan for increasing the effectiveness of some aspect of its educational program relating to student learning. The plan launches a process that can move the institution into a future characterized by creative, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences for students.
