Reaffirmation Steering Committee

Welcome to the Steering Committee webpage for the 2026 reaffirmation of accreditation process, a critical milestone in UHD's ongoing commitment to excellence in higher education. Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) is a testament to our institution's unwavering dedication to academic quality and student success. Specifically, the committee is charged with the following responsibilities:

• provide oversight and coordination of the compliance certification process;
• provide verbal or written updates on assigned section(s) to Steering Committee at each meeting;
• identify areas of concern relative to the Principles of Accreditation that should be addressed by the College prior to the submission of the Fifth-Year Interim Report;
• engage the College community in the process and provide updates of progress regarding the assigned working group;
• provide feedback, as requested, for the compliance report and for the QEP impact report;
• ensure that the compliance certificate is completed on time; and
• confirm the integrity of the process and the College’s responses.
