Accreditation
is a voluntary, non-governmental peer review process
by the higher education community that aims to assure
academic quality and accountability and to encourage
improvement.
The
Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools is the accrediting
body for the University of Georgia. UGA’s
last decennial accreditation took place in 1999-2000
and focused on enhancing
the undergraduate experience. To request
a copy of the Reaffirmation Committee Report,
contact Mandi
Herrin. A searchable database of UGA
SACS compliance documents is available
through the University Libraries. The documents
include policies, procedures and publications
of all types from UGA's 1999-2000 SACS Self-Study.
UGA's next reaccreditation will take place in 2009-2010. Compliance with the SACS Principles of Accreditation, (summarized here) will guide that reaccreditation process.

In
addition to institutional accreditation, many units
within the University of Georgia undergo periodic accreditation
by specialized accrediting bodies.
When an accredited institution significantly modifies or expands its scope, or changes the nature of its affiliation or its ownership, a substantive change review is required. If you have any question whether a change in your area could possibly be a substantive change, please contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, 542-2558.
