Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

TCL has launched its Quality Enhancement Plan called “Lights, Camera, Action: Focus on Online Success.” This initiative will focus on enhancing TCL’s online offerings with video and other instructional support.

The QEP is a part of  the accreditation process with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The SACSCOC is committed to advancing the quality of higher education, and the QEP is an important part of the accreditation reaffirmation. Every institution accredited by SACSCOC is required to determine student learning needs and develop a QEP to improve student learning.
