A Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a five-year quality improvement project developed by the institution that:
- addresses a topic identified through its ongoing, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes;
- has broad-based support of institutional constituencies;
- focuses on improving specific student learning outcomes and/or student success;
- commits resources to initiate, implement, and complete the QEP; and
- includes a plan to assess achievement.
The QEP is a required component of the institution's decennial reaffirmation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
