TENNAIR 2026

As a member of the Reaffirmation Class of 2026, Tennessee Tech University recently submitted a successful Compliance Certification with no findings related to Institutional Effectiveness. This session will cover the narrative structure and evidentiary documentation that was developed to demonstrate compliance with SACSCOC Standard 8.2a. A key component of the evidentiary materials included a table that detailed each academic programs compliance with the Institutional Effectiveness standard. In this session, we will discuss how the materials were gathered, how program chairs played an active role in this process, and how this strategy could be used to establish similar compliance with SACSCOC Standards 8.2c and 7.3. Lastly, we will discuss how this process is evolving and leading to the development of Continuous Improvement Awards that will recognize programs and/or units who are seeking improvement.
