Central Piedmont is preparing for its Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) reaffirmation in 2024. Our accreditation is vitally important since it impacts the college’s ability to award degrees, diplomas, and certificates to students – just like you.  It even affects your ability to receive financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education.

As a student, YOU are important to this process! Here’s where you come in: We need your help to develop the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), which is a requirement of the college’s SACSCOC reaffirmation process. The QEP topic will focus on an issue Central Piedmont can improve upon that deals with student learning outcomes and/or student success.

The QEP Topic Selection Team has reviewed various internal and external documents to identify possible student success themes and drafted questions to gather your feedback around the themes during Campus Conversations this past April. Now, you get to vote on your top theme. The top theme will then be narrowed into a QEP topic later this semester. 

Here is a link to the QEP Topic Selection Survey. Please complete the survey by the end of the day on Sunday, Sept. 5.

You will also have the opportunity later to help in the coming months by:

• submitting a research proposal this fall that further narrows the focus of our QEP

We look forward to hearing from you!
