In 2025, TCL will be considered for reaffirmation by the College’s institutional accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). This process occurs every 10 years and involves all departments and personnel across campus. In 2023 and 2024, TCL will be working to meet key reaffirmation milestones, including a Compliance Certification Report, a Quality Enhancement Plan, and an onsite visit by a team of SACSCOC peer reviewers. See TCL’s SACSCOC full accreditation statement here.

This page contains TCL’s reaffirmation timeline as well as lists of our team members. Visit this page for more Information about the QEP topic and implementation.
