Accreditation The University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Every ten years the University performs a self-study, the goal of which is to reaffirm that we meet the standards of accreditation set by SACS. The UTM reaffirmation visit was conducted in April of 2002. In January 2003 UTM was notified that reaffirmation was granted. Self-Study Purpose The primary purpose of the Self-Study was to objectively evaluate the University and develop a plan to improve its overall effectiveness consistent with its purpose. Through its self-study committees, the University conducted a broad-based, comprehensive, and analytical self-study. It identified and addressed the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving University goals, fulfilling its mission, and complying with SACS criteria.   Self-Study Goals The goals of the self-study were to: document and evaluate institutional compliance with SACS criteria for reaffirmation. re-evaluate the University's goals within the context of its mission. strengthen the process for evaluating institutional effectiveness. develop an enhanced sense of cohesiveness among all members of the University community. compile a comprehensive report with suporting documents to be used by the institution for planning purposes andinstitutional evaluation by the SACSvisiting committee.   Back to the Top Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs / Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs / Accreditation / Academic Affairs Policies / Organization / Related Documents / Staff / Teaching Personnel and Administration / New 2003 Faculty / Tenure and Promotion Schedule / 2003 Academic Calendar / Administrative and Professional Personnel / Faculty Senate Calendar / Faculty Senate Members / Faculty Senate Committees / Academic Affairs Changes / UTM Home [an error occurred while processing this directive]
