SACS Reaffirmation

Since 1925, The University of Montevallo has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the body recognized by the United States Department of Education to accredit educational institutions in Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Latin America.

In 2011, the University completed our periodic reaffirmation process.   Efforts to prepare for the reaffirmation process began on campus during the fall of 2008 with the launch of a Compliance Readiness Audit and the initiation of topic exploration for the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The University's Compliance Report was submitted for external review in August 2010, followed by an on campus evaluation in March of 2011. 

Through the leadership of the reaffirmation teams and the involvement of the entire campus community and its many stakeholders, the SACS reaffirmation process serves to assure constituents and the public of the quality and integrity of our institution and programs and to help us make continuous improvements. These outcomes are achieved through rigorous internal and external review processes during which the institution is evaluated against a common set of standards.
 

The University of Montevallo was reaffirmed with no additional report requested at the SACS Annual Meeting in December 2011. The institution's next reaffirmation will take place in 2021.

If you have any questions about SACS or our reaffirmation, please feel free to contact us.
